Aug 20: Today we went to Durham Cathedral. The cathedral is a beautiful place and big too. Then we went up the tower and there was a breath taking view, we could see the shape of the cross because we were so high. After that we went for a walk and saw the chocolate river (not really chocolate). Then we saw the Castle which is now the college, it looks like the Harry Potter school! We had a really nice guided tour of the castle and we did quite a walk to get there!

  1. thanks for your wonderful pics and commentary. I'd never heard of the Chocolate River. I wonder where the name came from. You guys seem to be getting lots of exercise. Are you in the same hotel with the awesome four poster bed?
