Part of a little bit of a catchup:
Newcastle
Nao Victoria
Replica of the first ship to go around the world
Way back at we took a little weekend trip up north to Newcastle. There we met with Gemma and boyfriend Ross, having a stroll around the city. Down on the river we found the Nao Victoria, a replica of the first ship to sail around the world. For a small fee we got to look around on board the frankly cramped quarters, marvelling that anyone could endure a day let along long enough to head around the world.
There was a call to old favourite Bridge Hotel and a wander across the bridges before dinner in Marco Polo.
The end of the weekend was mainly spent in Centurions waiting for the trains to sort themselves out though!

then saw the annual trip to Rochester. It was only a little day trip out, to go up round the castle as is tradition. We had a call at a couple of pubs (The Arrow and The Eagle). Best not mention Baggins!
