On our way to Italy!

We said goodbye to Elaine, Zed, and the doggies. They were such easy dogs to look after and we'll miss them.

Before we left, we had a quick look at their campervan. It's a white cargo van that they had converted to a camper van, and the company that did it did a really nice job!

I didn't take a photo of the exterior, but here is the inside...

The table slides out, and under the table is where the refrigerator is.
They've got solar and batteries, and all set up for wild camping.

We said goodbye and headed north to the coastal beach town of Tynemouth.

The fishing harbor.

They had a lifeboat demonstration going on.




They had a bunch of old fellows playing rock and roll.
The guy on the far right on the bass guitar is 80.

Looking across the bay at the Admiral Lord Collingwood monument.

It was definitely chilly.
Not really beach weather!

View looking back at where we had been.

We walked over to the monument.


Ruth on the monument steps.

High Street in Tynemouth.

Another beach.

And yet another beach!

It was quite windy!

The Master Mariners Homes.


We then drove further north to the village of Wooler where we stayed at the same Airbnb we had been at a week and a half ago. Walked into town to find some dinner, but on Sundays the restaurants tend to only do Sunday lunch and we needed some dinner. We could only find a very high end place where dinner would have ended up costing $100 or more, and the only other option was Chinese takeaway. Yes, we did the Chinese takeaway. Actually, it ended up being loads of food, except they made a mistake and gave us noodles instead of rice, but we couldn't be bothered to go back and try and fix it. Still, not bad.

Writing this from Edinburgh airport. We have dropped off our car rental and waiting for our flight to.... Bologna, Italy!
