Mmm I looove caramels! I mean, I enjoy fudge and toffee and similar candy too, but my all-time favorite is still caramel. It can be a wide range of softness and flavors. I’m particular to the gooey ones that are quick to melt in your mouth. I’ve tried watermelon-infused ones, coconut ones, chocolate-encased ones, and they’re all fantastic. Everything from Milk Duds to the pictured Crack Caramel caramels are good in my book. I’ve never had a problem with them sticking to my teeth and if they did I figure they’d just melt away eventually anyway. Their sweetness is the perfect pick-me-up for my sweet tooth. Between the taste and texture, they’re really a great treat!

By day 5 of our trip, Panda and I had made it up to my old stomping grounds of York. I went over some of this in my post in honor of York, but here’s another look at it. We walked around town before meeting up with Philosopher and reminiscing about old days with him as we returned to the Uni of York campus. We took a break for lunch at one of my fav sandwich shops, then checked out the rest of the university. Later in the day we wandered back into town and explored a bunch of shops before ending up at York Minster. From there, it was time to grab dinner and hang out with Philosopher a bit more before sending him off… til next time!
[If you missed out on the others, here are Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, and Day 4 recaps.]
We stayed at the Hampton Inn right by the train station, which was quite modern and new.
We were right next to the City of York Council, which had a nice courtyard with a quote by WH Auden, who was born in York.
Off we go to the more busy side of town!
I remember eating the largest naan ever here… it was at least the size of my torso and came hanging from a giant hook.
The River Ouse running through town.
Good old York Dungeon, which I’ve never been in, and Gallery, which was my go-to club.
Met up with Philosopher and started our stroll to the Uni of York campus.
The day couldn’t decide if it’d be sunny or cloudy, which made for some cool skyscapes.
I thought my flats would be fine for walking but my feet got rubbed raw.
We used to live here in M Block!
For lunch we went over to Brown’s in the little town of Heslington.
Brown’s sandwiches are yuuummy!!
After lunch we went on a little tour of the main campus area.
On our way back towards town, we came across a bird that the guys tried to corner.
Love the green initiatives popping up.
We’d never actually been to Clifford’s Tower so we decided it was time to take a look.
Got up to the top of the stairs for a great view, but didn’t feel like paying to enter so we left.
Back in town and where to go?
We came across street performers doing Native American music, which was quite good.
I never knew we had a cat store in town! And check out the ice cube tray I knew I had to have.
Browsing a store, I found an unwanted resident in one of the mugs for sale.
We then approached York Minster and went inside just in time to catch the evensong performance.
For dinner, it was Gert & Henry’s for their Sunday roast.
A delicious meal to warm up to.
