Newcastle!

The blogger account is bonkers so I'm using this wonderful send-an-e-mail-to-the-blog thing :)
Some photos from my day trip to Newcastle!
1. Grey's Monument marks the centre of modern Newcastle
2. Replication of a stage prop
3. Grainger Market
4. view on Tyne Bridge (with Olympic rings attached) from Millenium Bridge
5. :D

Newcastle's the first city I had to explore myself (guided walking tour started too early) but that was a welcome variation. Was a bit disappointed by the art gallery and the museum I visited; anyway, the walks I did were interesting and I took more photos than in York.
When I arrived back in Darlington I had to wait 2 hours for Cath, she'd been to somewhere west of Manchester with her daughter and they came back with a huge delay. Was quite boring, I just had my music (couldn't even wander around Darlington, it was late so all shops etc were closed).

I started to creosote the field shelter which I'll finish within the next few days. Unfortunately, the weather up here is very changeable, rain, sun, warm, cold, morning fog.
On Wednesday, I have another day off and I'll go to the next village Reeth where they're having a show (http://www.reethshow.co.uk/); on next Friday I'll make use of the next to last travel day on my Interrail-Ticket and on next Sunday I'll use the last one to get to my last station here in the UK: the farm of the Morgan's near Colchester.

So far, so good!
Lots of Love,
Katrin
