Durham Collages


I didn't actually take that many pictures in Durham, as the main things I thought were great to look at were the Cathedral and the Castle, neither of which allowed photos inside. But here are a few from the Botanic Gardens, Oriental Museum and Heritage Centre, as well as some external shots of the Cathedral and Castle, and a shot of the large Lego model they are building of the Cathedral, which was cool, but hard to photograph, as it's behind plastic walls. (Great idea - for £1 you can buy a brick and place it yourself on the current module they are building, which then gets added to the model. Unfortunately, we were there too late and the lego building station had closed. You can read about the project here and see some better photos, though...)


Of course, we did some eating out while we were there - tapas one night, mixed oriental the other, and pizza for a late lunch/early dinner the last day. And of course, there was cooked breakfast at the hotel. Yum!


Also noticed loads of really nice doors around Durham - only have photos of a few - these are all just on the streets, except the top left, which was in the Oriental Museum.
