Result of a brothers bet. More on that next time.<br><br><br><br><br>

... out people had a double AND a single bed so not too happy. So anyways, we did some washing, watched some TV and went down to dinner at 7pm.<br> Dinner was quicker than last night, we had mushroom soup and a buffet for mains of chicken and veges. Dessert was chocolate and cheescake..and fruit. So that was dinner, we went back upstairs downloaded some photos off the camera and watched some tv and had a shower as it's up time 6.45am tomorrow.<br>

... lunch and fagged up the long hill<br>to the church. It sits as a crown on the lushly forested hill overlooking a river. You enter through the North door and face the baptismal font. To your left the great space rolls out like the peal of bells. The nave is trisected with two side and one central aisles. Built primarily in the Norman style, a British response to the Romanesque. The vaulting is barrel the arches are round and the pillars are huge cylinders of sandstone ...

Well I wasn't really going to write anything here since this was strictly work-type stuff - I was in Newcastle for the International Sports Science and Sports Medicine Conference (which was brilliant by the way) - but seriously, this place was nothing short of fantastic, I can't believe I've never been here before.<br><br>Loved it - for future reference: must return to Newcastle!<br>

... were remarking at the weather, but reassured us that the forecast was calling for it to clear in the afternoon. The sun teased us a little while we ate, but was long gone by the time we were ready to leave. <br><br>Setting out, we were faced with more hills. Unfortunately, now with the added weight, I was not quite as adept at cycling as before. Now I had to push my bike and the extra gear up the hills, making our progress even slower ...

... it) but on foot it would have taken several days. And that&#8217;s just from one tactical point to another (I don&#8217;t want to consider how long it took them to get from Rome in the first place!).<br><br> Not only would it have taken a long time to move an army of that size from place to place, it would have taken a long time to get orders out to them from Rome to begin with. In today&#8217;s wireless society, I can text someone across ...

Started out the day with a great big hill to get out of the campground. Good thing there were Highland Cows to make the climb a little easier. Unfortunately, that was not the only one. Rises and falls littered the road as we went along. Already growing weary, I dismayed when the land cleared enough to see the consistent upward rise of the road ahead. A large stretch going up with ...

... other towns that are prehaps considered in the metropolitan area. the 'new castle' was built by the normans in 10something, by one of the sons of william the conquerer, so it's newer than the roman fort-turned saxon fort that was there before. only some of the castle is left, with the castle keep having been completely restored, and with only a 1 pound enterence fee for students! after walking around the city and seeing ...

... Funnily enough later found out that half of Sydney had lost electricity too in what sound like horror storms. Man i always miss the excitement! Anyways next day we drove to the northeast of England. unfortunately skipped the biggest fish and chip shop in the world (chandeliers, car park for 400 cars PLUS a coach park) and stopped for lunch in Durham which was surprisingly beautiful, with a massive cathedral and castle perched on a hill overlooking the town.

... used by the current batch of royals. In fact, I made a point of asking one of the guides at Holyroodhouse if the Queen had ever sat in any of the chairs in this particular room. The guide assured me that the Queen had held a formal reception in that room just a few months earlier. And those guests did use the old furniture. So, for me, the fact that these people use historical items in part of their everyday lives gives me the impression that they are trapped in the past. I ...
