Big trip part 7 - Leeds

We spent a few days visiting friends and family in Leeds. It was great to see everyone and we just didn't have enough time to do everything we wanted or see everyone.

I missed this one before - this was at Morley Asda when we were waking ourselves up after the flight and about to buy clothes and toiletries - as we had no luggage!


Not used to this - three lanes of almost standing traffic!


The only photo I dared take in Leeds with my proper camera in case I got accused of being a terrorist or something!


A few phone camera shots around Leeds Centre. It seemed very busy to us. Lots more crowds and people than we're used to. Lots of shop security guards everywhere as well.
Talking of which - we were impressed that Gregg's the bakers is open until 4am Saturday nights. A pastie after the pub/club is a great idea! Even if it did have armoured glass like a bank and two security guards!!


And the new Leeds museum - we were impressed to see a couple of stuffed New Zealand endangered animals :o)


Me about to tackle the famous special naan kebab from Posh Nosh of Beeston!
Lovely!


Us with baby Katie


The view from our hotel in Leeds centre. We got to bed around four a.m. and the roadworks outside started at about five thirty. Ah well!


We went out for the day with our nephew Christopher and had a great time at Roundhay and Tropical World. And we had ice cream :)


Random sunset - at Mark and Ellen's who put on a barbie for us and a few friends. Thanks guys!

Some shots of South Leeds where we used to live


And finally how about this for a naan!!

We stayed at James' for the last two nights in the UK (thanks James) and had a curry at Akbar's the first night and a lovely meal at a local pub the following night. James took us to the airport in his nice shiny beemer, and suddenly it was all over. It seemed like we'd only been there a minute and it was time to leave.
