Our first trip to England since 2018 (our 2020 trip was canceled for obvious reasons!), and it didn’t go as well as we would want – British Airways canceled our flight from London to Newcastle (replacing it with train tickets and a massive lack of communications!), then didn’t provide our luggage (Margaret’s eventually was returned to Florida even while we were still in England!) … we also both got quite sick the second week 😦
But we had some nice times still, visiting friends and family and places – we spent the first few days in Newcastle staying at Malmaison right on the quayside for beautiful bridge views, and we also spent one morning walking the streets up as far as Grey’s Monument and Haymarket. Here are lots of photos …
While in Newcastle we also took an interesting tour of the Newcastle United stadium St James Park, getting views from the highest seats right down to grass side where Eddie Howe sits during games!
