cruisin'

So I finally took an Ouse Cruise last week.

Our boat approaching under the bridge.


Our River Prince.


On the rural part of the cruise.


The gorgeous Guildhall from le boat.


Woodsmill Quay.


Queens Staith.


Pretty York.


Another bridge.


The Ouse is known for its flooding, but was unbelievably low.
There was even a beach!


The Bonding Warehouse.


The river is lined with old converted warehouses.


Millennium Bridge & where our rip-off of a cruise turned around.


Bridge marking the confluence of the Ouse and the Foss rivers.


I Saw Red.


South Esplanade & Cyclist.


River Duchess.


Ice cream by the riverside, anyone?


Nice spot.


But all I can see is red, red, red, red, red now.


A wee spectator from above.
[Why yes I am beginning to use Scottishisms].


Overlooking l'Ouse.


King's Arms tavern, which is known to flood when the river's high.


Approaching the Guildhall.


Isn't it pretty?


You can just drop me off there.


Or not.


Leaving le boat.


It was nice, cruisin'.


Pretty stairs up to the bridge.


Et encore.


Followed by strawberry beers at the cool beer bar
whose weird European name I can never remember.
