an unexpected stop

Our visit to Newcastle was supposed to be a 2 hour stay. And our only plans included getting from the port to the train station, with a quick run down to the Tyne river to see the famous Newcastle bridges. And for the first 90 minutes, that's exactly what happened. 

Of course, as you know, our time in Newcastle didn't end there. We found ourselves suddenly in a city neither of us had ever visited, with plenty of time to explore everything had to offer. However, between all our travels from the day before, a less than good night's sleep on the rocky sea, and the stress and panic of canceled trains, our day in Newcastle ended up looking more like this.

but don't worry, we did make it out for dinner and a little bit of that famous Newcastle night life.
