Derby

It's pronounced by the locals as "Darrrby" and the little towns that are around it called "Derbyshire" how cute is that...a shire!

It was a cute little town without many tourist. We stayed in a newer hotel right at the city center which was actualy attatched to the bus station.

It was very convienent for getting around to the other areas we wanted to visit. On the last day we stayed in Derby and looked at a few of the local sights.

We went to the Derby royal crown china factory (you may have heard of them...they make the royal families dishes. They also had been commisioned to make the plates for the Titanic)

Unfortunatly we didnt get to do the factory tour since they don't let anyone under 1o years old in......

We also went to the Pickford house museum wich is a home that has been re-furbished and set up as it would have been in the 1700's. we got dressed up, and played with old toys. It was fun.

We also did some shopping . It was a nice relaxing day!
