Newcastle

Arrived in early in the morning from Hexham. Hadn't researched any hostels and got lucky with one right across from the rail station and in the centre of the city.

Alot of new construction. Angel of the North. Millenium Swing Bridge, The Sage Gateshead (Foster)... etc. A charming downtown which reminded me of Bath.

Angel of the North:

The people are tattooed, scarred, and assymetrical with dark glazed eyes. Eurotrash hair that puts Italians to shame.

Bamburgh Castle (second below) was interesting. Reconstructed.
