Newcastle

So my friend Laura is studying abroad just north of me in Sunderland, which is just outside of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. I went to visit her for the weekend. Newcastle is a pretty old city that was named because in 1168 Henry II founded the castle and dubbed it the "new castle" and the name stuck to both the castle and the city. The city sits between the river Tyne and the river Wear. Sunderland is about a 30 minute metro ride outside of Newcastle and it sits right on the North Sea.
