After Scotland we will be returning to merry 'ole England. Since my wife's grandfather is from the Newcastle area we figured that would be a great area to visit. So we are planning on staying two nights in the neighborhood he grew up in, South Shields. We will be staying in another B&B right on the main ocean access street. While in the area we hope to visit Bede's World, an open air museum based on the life and times of the Venerable Bede, a Catholic saint who documented early life in Britain. In addition we would like to see Arbeia, a recreation of a Roman fort, and the local history museum.
After Newcastle we will be jumping back on a train and returning to London. For the first three nights we've decided to splurge on our accommodations and will be staying in a 4 star hotel within visual range of Buckingham Palace. During our stay in our royal accommodations we plan on taking in Henry VIII at the Shakespeare Globe Theatre, riding a London at night tour bus, seeing the prime meridian in Greenwich, and exploring the Tower London, Hampton Court, the Victoria & Albert, and the British Museum. Our final night will be spent at a hotel at the airport that will afford us time to sleep in before our flight home.
