Sunday May 22, 2011: Durham

Today we headed into the city limits Durham. It was a lovely city but like all cities in Europe, nothing opens early on a Sunday. The earliest we could tour the cathedral was 12:30 and the castle was not open for tours until 2 pm. Brian and Alexandra were not keen on waiting around. So we walked up to see the outside. Fortunately the cathedral was not entirely closed. We could go in and see it but we couldn’t approach the alter but we could still enjoy the choir while taking in the view. Then we walked over to the castle. It turns out the castle is currently owned by the University of Durham and houses students as dormitory. Alexandra and I managed to go into pee but Adam got really in. He said it looked like Hogwarts inside.
