Newcastle during the day

---

Great sleep on the couch although i kept waking up cause everyone needed to start their days way earlier than i planned!! So i got up and had some tea around 1030 ish, had some breaky and got ready to set off for a day of exploring. I walked through the outskirts of town not making a right turn somewhere i walked past a bunch of cool shops and amusement centers (uk casinos) and ended up walking across a huge bridge to end up in Quay pronounced key. Walked down to the harbour and found the cool Mellenium bridge which is quite the design. Walked over that to the Baltic and had a look in there for awhile. Not a huge fan of modern art!!! At all
Best thing in there was this gallery for Darwin where it was a video of these Tortoise's humping and it definetly was NOT a pretty sight. It lasted like half an hour making this terrible gruelling noise. I had to get out of there.
Went outside to go check out this sweet looking odd shaped building up the hill but i ran into this photo booth thing. Had free email and directions very high tech little gadget. Sent my mom and sarah and mikey a video!
Walked up to to check out the concert hall which was alright got a few pics of it. Snuck into where they were setting up another stage. Very cool high tech building everything was staged in like a whirlwind looking down on the stage. Got out of there after being lost many times!!! Then i walked over the bridge to go see the LIFE science museum which was supposedly the thing to see. But no i got lost ha!! I wound up finding New Castles staDium which was purely out of goodluck!! Very cool actually saw the pitch for once and where the players entered the building. New Castle is supposedly on the brink of loosing their 50 million dollar sponsorship which would cripple this poor town.
I left the building and walked across to the Huge ass park across the way and back down through the bowels of the city. Managed to find Central station again and got myself a haircut before taking the looser cruiser back to Rory's. Got back and was lost instantly because i thought i recognized the place and was mistaken!! Luckily Rory was only a min away walking home from work with his gf. He walked back and chatted about this that and the other. We made a stir fry when we got back and decided to go see a few pubs after dinner. Long walk but we made it to this pub right under the bridge where i had been walking before. It was called the Cumberland, kinda small and there was supposedly a show going on but i heard nothing! We had a pint outside but it was super windy so we came in and there were dogs all over the place...typical English and they were playing this geussing game with pen and paper.
Well we set off for the next pub which ROry had only been to once so it was abit of a mish to find er but we did. It was dead there were only like 5 ppl in there including the workers. Geordies thats what Newcastlers are called i think the bar was called Free Trade or something. Checked out the bathroom because it was just covered in drunkards putting up graffiti from over the ages> PRETTY cool actually.
Then we set off for home and talked all about BC and hiking the West Coast Trail which he is planning to do leaving Aug 1 so all u boys back home should let him stay with yah a night. Cool guy. We got back and had a couple more Special Brews, well i did anyways and then lights were off and to Dreamyland i went.
