Accommodation: Ibis, Coventry South
For the August Bank Holiday, we set off from home after work and dinner on the Friday night, arriving in Coventry fairly late on. The hotel wasn’t at all what we expected, and was more of a motel, with rooms leading straight in to the open air. It was a little like Bates Motel from Psycho, but luckily we weren’t in a room next to the reception.

Our stay in York was coming to an end, Thursday was check-out day, and we reluctantly left the room to make our way home. One last stop on the way though; Harrogate.
We got to Harrogate just before 11am, and again it was a beautifully sunny day. The entire area looked so nice, we couldn’t help but look at the prices of the houses; all far too expensive for us!

On Wednesday, we woke up, had our usual full-English breakfast downstairs at the hotel restaurant, got ready for the day and set off on our adventures. On this day, we travelled North to Whitby, through the North Yorkshire Moors, arriving late morning. The moors were beautiful in the morning, it was like driving through a background from Sharpe or Poldark.

Tuesday morning was Helen’s birthday, so we woke up nice and early to unwrap presents. Unfortunately, while pictures were taken, neither of us had put on our make-up, so they’re not suitable for publication. One picture however definitely needs to be shared, which is the birth of Juice Junior:

On Monday morning after breakfast in the hotel, we set off to Hull to see The Deep, one of the largest aquariums in the UK. The building itself was pretty impressive, and the inside was very interesting. The first area of the tour is filled with (most likely fake) fossils of prehistoric marine life.
