Newcastle Travel Blogs

The adventure has begun and I hadn't even got the car from UK back to Norway.  I suppose this is a taste of things to come. I flew to England on the 21st of September to collect the Mitsubishi Shogan that we had bought for the trip. I had a really busy weekend planned and it was going to be …

We wake up early and have our last breakfast in the house.We can finish up everything and get packed. Leaving with guys sure goes a lot faster than with a family:) At ten o'clock we are on our way to Newcastle. At two we arrive at the ferry terminal.  The wind is blowing hard, and the g…

When we arrived in Newcastle, it was late to go into the city so we just went to the hotel bar and had a nightcap before heading to the room. The Marriot hotel is located in Gateshead about 3 miles southwest of Newcastle and across from the MetroCentre, one of Europe's largest shopping complex. T…

Spent a month in Newcastle University to attend the summer school. The University is located at the heart of the NEwcastle City where all major shopping centres and grocery stores were easily accesible from the campus itself. Almost all shops there are closed by 6 pm but then again, that signal the start of nightlife in newcastle with plenty of Bars, Pubs and clubs located within miles from the campus itself.

I went to New Castle for a day by boat. It was really fun, i never travelled by boat before so i was kinda excited, because i had no idea what to expect :p. eventually it was lots of fun, i had the feeling i was drunk the whole time when being on the boat lol :) After arriving in New Castle i made a nice walk through this city,afcourse making some nice pics. A thing that is really noticable in this city is the really new and very old architecture which is found beside each other through the city

The picturesque landscape, the nice and friendly Irishmen, Irish cider:-)) and the prospect of meeting new volunteers - all had contributed to my return:-)

Trip by boat (DFD Seaways) to Dailly (Scotland) Not much trip, but now and again a tip

spent a month in philadelphia and also visited new york twice to see a few bands.

Ihave a caravan in Cockermouth in the English Lake District. I try to spend as much time as I can there. Some great walking & a gorgeous place for me to do some song writing & chill. Its near the coast so I have the beauty of both the mountains & the sea!!

just a few pics of the wonderful county of northumberland..you'll be surprised !!

aparently because i live in the U.K this isn't classed as travelling... but i have some cool photo's and maybe my info will help someone

After a great trip -our satnav (MIO) brought us through a valley, so beautiful- we enter the pre boarding platform for the boat to Norway. We see her lying in the dock, but we have to wait for a while to enter.It is a fair day, so witing is no problem. We can look back on a nice week in Scotland.

Quarter-life crisis? It's only a crisis if you buy a new car. Join me for the ride. Passengers wanted.

Had a 24hr layover in Newcastle. Not the most interesting city I've ever been. But they do have some nice bridges though.
