3/27: in transit again
Another run in Hyde, this time with Kate down to Buckingham Palace, legs were heavy, but alright once we got going.
Caught the subway to kings cross, found and printed our tickets easy enough, and had enough time to grab a coffee and hangout for a bit. Saw another Hopkins student, which is perhaps the craziest yet, but again, increasingly inescapable. I also wanted to (but refrained) from taking a picture of the people taking a picture of the Harry Potter 9 and 3/4 platform. I figured enough damage had been done here already. The train ride was a pleasant blur through the English countryside. Ripped through a bunch of my book and watched the city melt away.
A quick transfer in Newcastle and 30 min later, we stepped off in hexham, a totally different feeling than London. It has a cool medieval downtown and a couple historic buildings that date back 100s of years. Our B and B hosts are outstanding the the location is great.
We were suggested the heart of northunberland for dinner and it might have been the best food/experience yet. Lots of beers to choose from and they nearly insisted that we try them all. It was owned by a couple that were from hexham originally and had recently moved back and taken it over.
A fine day, if filled by travel,
