Leeds and York II















Harewood House. Kirsty visited this with Katherine and Alan while poor Jarod was stuck on the train in the middle of a flood! Harewood House was built in the mid-18th century with money made from the West Indian sugar trade
















































Displays at the Royal Amouries. They were quite impressive. Would have liked more time at the Royal Amouries but they were closing. The Royal Armouries is home to the United Kingdom’s national collection of arms and armour, including artillery. There were many interesting displays..everything from Colt 45's to Bren guns to modern day police weaponry. Was interesting to see which countries had the highest rate of gun ownership compared to their murder rate. New Zealand didnt feature at all..nice safe country!
