Newcastle

 We have travelled up to Newcastle by train for five nights at the Royal Station Hotel. The sky was so great with low fluffy clouds that we had to take an orientation walk over to Gateshead and back via theSage, Baltic Centre and Millennium Bridge.

To Gateshead and back via South Shields

Yesterday, I took the Metro to Newcastle, walked down to the Quay and along to the Millennium Bridge. A coffee in the Sage Centre then back over the bridge to Newcastle and the Metro to South Shields. The Metro ticket works on the Ferry to North Shields so I crossed the Tyne and then walked back via the Fish Quays to Tynemouth. Shame there wasn't a bit more light around.
