      Parks and Pubs

      4 Temmuz 2023, İngiltere ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Today we woke up, got ready and caught the bus to Heaton. We went to a little coffee shop and I had the best coffee so far on the trip. We then walked through Heaton Park to Pets corner in Jesmond Dene. Pets corner is a random assortment of animals, some have been given to them or rescued from the RSPCA. We saw goats, rabbits and every domesticated bird you could think of (except chickens cause bird flu). We then strolled through the park headed for the waterfall. The UK has done so well with parks and pathways, it's really easy to find green spaces close to the city. We found the waterfall and the old mill, had a look around then headed back to meet Rachael. She picked us up and we went to Jesmond. We ended up at Fat Hippo which was a burger place. The food was very tasty and it was nice to catch up with Rach again.
      She dropped Erin and I to a brewery in Byker and the place was so cute. The owner poured us our beers and gave us a small shot of imperial ale which was a 10% dark stout which was really quite sweet. Erin compared it to port. We walked back to the accommodation for a brief rest before heading back out on the bus. We were back to Heaton, first for a stop at Greggs for Erin to grab a coffee and donut. We loved every second of her Greggs experience. We then headed to Heaton Tap which is a small micropub with heaps of different brews from the North East. We tried a few different beers but the highlight was the cherry beer, so different to anything else we've had before.
      Next we went to Zoe's house for dinner with her and her friends. They made us dinner using ingredients from their allotment where they grow heaps of their own produce. It was such a fun night, Zoe and her friends are really informed about the environment and political movements within Britain, they also have cool jobs. Then we were shown the allotment where our meal had been grown.
      Erin and I headed back, got ready for bed and then realised that we aren't the only visitors to Edinburgh tomorrow...

      Fish 'n castles

      5 Aralık 2023, İngiltere ⋅ ⛅ 0 °C

      Today we left early and set off to Bamburgh Castle. This 11th century castle was a former Royal Palace, Norman stronghold, crown residence, and has now been recreated by the engineer William Armstrong (who helped design and build Spitfires).

      The castle spans across 9 acres of land and was absolutely stunning, we took our time exploring the staterooms, armoury, dungeon as well as the aviation museum on the grounds.

      After too much time at the castle we decided to drive to the next town over, Seahouses. Where we enjoyed our first UK fish and chips by the beach. Between us we had Haddock and chips, battered spam, a pickled egg, and a chip butty.

      Once we got back to the accommodation we spent the night booking our next few stays, and we realised we only have under a week of accommodation not booked! Which means our trip is so close to coming to an end 😭

      The Steep End

      14 Eylül 2022, İngiltere ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      I woke up hungry to walk up and down Newcastle's slalom alleys and lanes, so we walked across the High Level Bridge and back across the Tyne Bridge. We were hoping for some hipster coffee but didn't succeed today. So we went for the other extreme: some really British coffee from Queen's Cafe just across the road from our flat. I heard a Geordie businessman in a great business suit order a bacon roll with brown sauce, and once I had googled brown sauce, I took a creepshot of him because he looked so good.

      After paying off some sleep debt later that morning, we went to Newcastle Castle via Dog Leap Steps (a dead seagull in a plastic bag on the top step, and a homeless person sleeping just next to the castle) and decided to do the full experience from the Castle Garth and Keep to the Tower with its narrow winding stairs, hidden rooms, and giddy heights. This was inspiring and very engaging, although I did feel fear at a few points - especially when walking past an oubliette called "The Heron Pit" and when visiting a tiny cell through a narrow hall where prisoners were kept until the assizes. Chilling.

      We went for a beer at Ask Italian and met a cute gay waiter who we learned was not a Geordie (from Newcastle) but a Mackem (from Seaham). And after that I went for a haircut and beard trim at The Hoi Polloi where my barber Jack Porter gave me a classy trim while being charming with a thick Geordie Accent. Mint!

      Dinner was Italian by the Quayside at Sambuca, and a walk along the banks of the Tyne looking at the reflection of the Tyne Bridge and Sage Gateshead.

      A sweet day.

      Reunions in the Toon

      1 Temmuz 2023, İngiltere ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

      Today I woke up and got ready to head into Newcastle. THE SUN WAS OUT!!! I walked to Manors which is right near Northumbria University where I did my masters. I met up with Rach, Ori, Jess and Mollie at a coffee shop there. It was so nice to see all of them again. We caught up on everything and especially what had gone on in basketball world. I then hung out longer with Rach, we drove into town and walked around the high street looking for a pub that was playing the English women's football game. We found one but the game started later so we headed to 5 swans which was our drinking place for 2 years while I lived there. It hadn't changed and the beers are so cheap. We chatted and caught up about everything, then Kate and Brooklan arrived from their morning of shopping and visiting the coast.
      It was then time to go and watch the match, we met with Rachs girlfriend Beth and Mollie came back to watch the game too. The game was average but fun to be in the pub watching together.
      We then caught the train back and grabbed frozen pizzas for dinner. We got ready to go to Zoe's house party. We arrived and Zoe was so stoked to see me which was so lovely. We got a tour of her house which was massive and met her roommates and a few partygoers. There was also just dogs walking around and on couches which was the best. Then Ed arrived! He hadn't changed one bit. Kate, Brooklan, Ed and I sat inside and chatted all night, the sun literally hasn't been setting up here until like 10:30pm which is crazy too. We then caught the train back and ordered McDonald's before heading to bed. It was such a great day seeing everyone again and I really do like Newcastle more than I remembered!

      Erntedankgottesdienst

      24 Eylül 2022, İngiltere ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      In Newcastle sind Verena und ich dann zur Martin Luther Kirche gegangen, die ein echt sehr schönes Glasfenster hat. ☺️ Und auf einer schicken Plakette, die aber nicht ganz vollständig ist, kann man sehen, dass es die Kirche - mit Unterbrechungen - auch schon ganz schön lange gibt. 🫢
      Wir haben mit einer insgesamt zehnköpfigen Truppe einen Erntedank-Familiengottesdienst gefeiert mit vielen schönen Liedern. 🎶
      Danach gab es in einer sehr geselligen Runde noch Tee und Kuchen, wo ich auch mit einem der Menschen sprechen konnte, die ich mit Thomas schon kennenlernen durfte! ☺️☕️
      Das war eine tolle Erfahrung in der Newcastler Gemeinde und wir haben uns alle gefreut, uns gegenseitig zu sehen. ✨

      Newcastle und die Horrornacht

      12 Temmuz 2022, İngiltere ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Nach einem anstrengenden Bike-Tag habe vor allem ich einen Pausetag verdient 😅 also ging es eine Stadt erkunden. Newcastle.
      Newcastle war für mich immer so ein Punkt auf der Landkarte worauf ich mich gefreut habe, denn es liegt kurz vor der schottischen Grenze und auf Schottland freue ich mich unglaublich arg. Deshalb haben wir voller Freude diese Stadt erkundet.

      Wenn man nach so langer Zeit (3 Wochen) mal wieder in eine Stadt fährt weiß man irgendwie was man gar nicht vermisst hat. Allein der Geruch und die tausenden Menschen die um einen herumwuseln waren mir fast schon zu viel.
      Da ich keine Lust mehr hatte zu kochen beschlossen wir endlich englische Chips zu probieren. Irgendwo in einem entspannteren Wohnviertel haben wir ein süßes kleines Lädchen entdeckt und direkt zwei Portionen bestellt. Joel mit Knoblauchsoße und ich mit Cheddar überbacken. Ich kann’s euch sagen, es war übertrieben lecker 🤤

      Nach 15 km und etwas verlaufen später kamen wir endlich um 22:30 Uhr am Van an. Wir beschlossen dort zu schlafen, da wir einfach erledigt waren.

      Man muss schon sagen manche Engländer sind schon etwas seltsam. Sie fahren mit ihren Autos auf einen random Parkplatz und bleiben in ihren Autos sitzen und machen nichts und fahren irgendwann wieder weg!? Hä? Okay jedem das seine 😂

      Um 2:30 Uhr Nachts bin ich aufgewacht, da etwas geklappert hat. Dann habe ich erst gedacht, ach das habe ich mir nur eingebildet. Als es dann nochmal geklappert hat habe ich aus unserem Heckfenster rausgeschaut und jemanden bei unseren Fahrrädern gesehen. Schnell habe ich Joel geweckt. Er meinte nur, ach die interessieren sich nur für das Auto, mach dir keine Sorgen.
      Joel ist wieder eingeschlafen, während ich nicht schlafen konnte. Ich habe währenddessen noch einem Paar beim rummachen beobachtet bis die endlich weggefahren sind und es endlich still auf dem Parkplatz war. Dann dachte ich mir, okay jetzt kann ich wieder getrost schlafen. Fehlanzeige. Auf einmal klapperte es wieder bei unseren Rädern. Wieder habe ich Joel geweckt. Diesmal hat er den Typ gesehen und raus geschrien. Davon hat der Typ sich nicht beirren lassen, er wollte die Bikes klauen. Schnell habe ich zum Schlüssel gegriffen um unseren Panikknopf von unserer Alarmanlage zu drücken. Der Dieb ist dann schnell zu seinem Komplizen auf einem Mopet gerannt und kam dann wieder mit einer Accu-Flex und hat angefangen unser Schloss aufzuflexen. Jetzt ging alles sehr schnell. Kurzschlusshandlung. Joel hat sich schnell mit unserer Axt und ich mich mit dem Pfefferspray bewaffnet. Dann ist Joel rausgerannt und hat die Typen verjagt. Der Typ mit der Flex hat dann seine Beine in die Hand genommen, ist auf den Roller gesprungen und hat nur noch geschrien: Schneller der hat eine Axt.
      Dann waren die zwei zum Glück weg.
      Wir konnten dort natürlich nicht mehr schlafen und sind erst mal eine halbe Stunde entfernt auf einen anderen Platz gefahren um dort noch etwas Schlaf zu finden.
      Naja schlafen konnten wir nicht mehr wirklich.

      Wir sind einfach nur froh das nichts weiter passiert ist und es uns beiden gut geht.
      Im Anschluss haben wir jetzt einige Dinge besprochen, wie wir in so einer Situation (hoffentlich wird das nicht mehr so oft passieren) handeln würden.

      Zum Glück sind wir mit einem Schrecken davon gekommen.

      Planes, trains and automobiles

      3 Mayıs, İngiltere ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      I made it to Newcastle. These Transatlantic trips are always tiring. My neighbour Ray gave me a ride to Century Park for me to catch the 747 bus. That part of the trip went well until I directed Ray to drive southbound in the northbound lane of 122 Street to get to the Century Park Transit centre. I think Ray felt much safer after he had dropped me off. How am I ever going to navigate the span of the United Kingdom when I have my problems navigating in Edmonton.

      The KLM flight to Amsterdam was delayed 30 minutes as it arrived late. Then after we boarded it was delayed for a technical reason for another 75 minutes. I was starting to get worried that I would mix my connection flight in Amsterdam. My 3 hour layover in Amsterdam turned into an hour and 15 minutes lay over. My next gate was very close to my arrival gate which was super convenient. I didn't have to clear customs or security. I sensed that some people on my flight would miss their connection. I was happy that I did not check my luggage It may have been wise to have scheduled 2 nights in Newcastle as a buffer against travel delays but I was here a few years ago when I walked Hadrian's Wall. I have had to book all 15 nights of my accommodations in advance for the hike so if I get delayed it could really throw a wrench in things.

      I am staying at the Staybridge suites in Newcastle. I had mailed them my hiking poles about 3 months ago and they arrived a month ago. The staff were eagerly awaiting my arrival and had upgraded me to a full suite room from the standard room I had booked as a treat for coming so far.

      Off by train to St. Bee's tomorrow via Carlisle. I brought Mr Toilet Paper Roll Man with me on the condition that he does not talk about work or the gross room. Mr TPRM lives in our bathroom at work. He was complaining that he doesn't want to get dirty so I put him in a ziplock bag. Now he is complaining the photos in the plastic bag of him don't look good.

      I've found Erin

      3 Temmuz 2023, İngiltere ⋅ 🌬 16 °C

      Today I woke up and walked to the train station and headed to the airport. I got in and Erin's flight had just landed. After a hold up on the luggage belt, Erin emerged looking fresh after a long flight. It was so great to see her and finally have her on the journey. We caught an uber back to the Airbnb where Kate and Brooklan were getting ready to head off. We ended up going with them to Grainger market which is a bunch of shops with food stalls, butchers, grocers and more. We grabbed a coffee and a delicious bagel then said goodbye to Kate and Brooklan. I'm glad that I got to catch up with them both, very happy they are moving their new life.
      Next I took Erin to the 5 swans to show her the favourite pub. We sat and caught up on everything from the last 6 weeks in the sun which was the best. I gave her a tour of the university grounds, the main street, the cathedral, the Lit and Phil library and the castle. We then walked down to the river to see the 7 bridges and visit the Wetherspoons by the quayside. After another few drinks, we headed to a pub with pies for an early dinner. Ed came and met us as well which was nice that Erin got to meet him! The pies were delicious and so filling.
      Erin slowly was fading so we walked home and said goodbye to Ed. We watched some Mamma Mia before Erin headed to sleep. I'm just chilling before the hectic Euro schedule really begins!
