York at Half Term - We've only just recovered.......

The Longs visited York and stayed at the fabulous Centro apartments http://www.centrostay.co.uk/ – handy, central and great value. (Thanks to Andy from Watsigns for a ‘great steer’)

We bought York Passes which gave us access to loads of attractions for 3 days – here’s what we did – you’ll see why we’ve only just recovered!
