Shirley had an appointment at the Biobank centre for scans and tests today. First we had a coffee at Doyle's of Dean Street, then drove to the centre which was only about 10 minutes away.
Scott went for a scenic drive, east to the coast at Tynemouth, then south through the Tyne Tunnel to South Shields. He then parked the car at the Baltic centre on the bank of the Tyne and went for a walk.
He went to the free car park just down from the Biobank centre and waited for Shirley to finish at about 2pm. We decided to leave the car where it was and walked up the riverside back to the centre and to the hotel for a rest.
Later we decided to go out to Jesmond, a suburb of Newcastle about 40 minutes walk away. We had a pint at the Osbourne Hotel on the main street. After this we went to the Lonsdale pub.
We wanted to have dinner at the Fat Hippo, a burger place but we hadn't booked and it was full. So we went back to the Lonsdale and had our dinner there - chicken korma and beef yorkie wrap.
We caught the Metro back to the city centre.
