The holiday involved a stopover in Hong Kong on the way out and on the way back. Just time enough to catch up with both my cousins and their families. We arrived in London and stayed with friends for a few days Then down to Chichester to catch up with family before travelling north.

We made an early morning start heading north. Arriving at our first stop in York just after mid day. We had a really nice time sightseeing around the city and capped it off with a ghost walk after dinner. Next day it was on to Edinburgh but only after stopping and visiting Hadrian’s Wall where the Roman Empire finished. They did go north into Scotland and Built Antonine’s Wall, but they accepted that it was too difficult to actually conquer Scotland.
