Princess Seaway

This is last night's last view of England.
Right now I'm drinking early morning tea watching the sun rise through a rain squall, still several hours from Amsterdam.
Yesterday took the train from Haydon Bridge to Newcastle, meeting Clive with his folding Brompton bike. He's a broadcast engineer, but used to do some
tour work with the likes of the Rolling Stones and Chrissie Hynde, some stories there. But he had trouble with his electronic ticket and some laughs with the conductor about it.

Clive recommended the Hub bicycle cafe on the Newcastle quayside, so I stopped on my way the 10 miles to the ferry port out the river Tyne.

My cabin aboard this huge ship, slept well, quiet passage.

I might be putting this bicycle blog on hold for a bit as I shift into a more touristy/pedestrian mode in Amsterdam.
Ta ta for now.
