Sydney to Newcastle – Fulfilling a 31-Year Premier League Pilgrimage

[VPS]

Thanks for the photos. I almost expected to see Vera peering at a dead body in the background of those shots of the Newcastle riverfront. It must have been somewhat chilly wandering the streets in that snow.

I remember waiting at the bus stop in Newcastle and everyone wanting to chat and when they knew I was an Aussie - OMG they needed to know every detail of my life and yes I was called pet and hen

PS loving this TR

Wetherspoons is a great pub chain for cheap drinks in interesting, generally historical buildings, but the meals are very average,

Agreed. Seems to be a place to hang out for average Joes. Good for the price though.

I avoid spoons unless there is no alternative and there always is. YMMV

My friend mentioned to me about this afterwards.

Feel a bit sorry for that guitarist at Stack!

Me too. Must be boring as hell. But during match day he would have performed in front of a lot of people. All balanced out, I guess.

Good trip report, I have a few I should add to paper.

Thank you!

It was chilly. But I don't have problem with this as I used to live in Chicago in winter. Newcastle is considered "mild" to me. However, the worst thing is actually walking at just under 0 degrees. The light snow melts and then turned to ice. I had to walk very slowly in some areas to avoid slipping.

I had no idea about what "pet and hen" means and I had to Chatgpt it. But now I get it!
