After lunch it was time to make the second attempt to visit the castle museum.  I found it rather disappointing compared to the last time I visited.  Some of the best exhibits seemed to have gone and part of it was still being refurbished.

After freshening up in the hotel it was time for dinner in The Blue Bicycle and it was easily the best meal of the week (more on that later).  I was then dragged into a pub that stated it was one of the oldest and most haunted pubs in York!  It was empty, maybe the ghosts had scared everyone away?  Pub choice number two was much more lively and friendly and they were serving taster beers on a tray of three, in third of a pint glasses.  I have not seen that done before, but it seemed very popular.
