Dad wanted to go and see Newcastle FC play a match this season (Newcastle v Crystal Palace). So he arranged for all the family to travel over. Mum, Dad, Harry, Uncle Mark, Aunt Julie, Grandpa and Oma.
The trip over was an early start to get the 0855 plane over. Harry was very excited and was busy on the flight over. When we got there we got the Metro in and had a short walk to the Vermont Hotel. A quick change and we went to the Union Rooms for lunch. It was starting to get busy with football fans. After lunch we discovered Harry had lost his toy - Walter Worthog. Mum, Julie, Oma and Harry walked back to look for Walter and Dad, Mark and Grandpa got a taxi up to St James Park. We were in the Bar 1892 are were able to see the last few goals as Arsenal were beat 6 by Chelsea. The Newcasle match looked to end 0-0 until the final minute of added time when we scored. It was great to leave winning and to see a goal. The boys enjoyed the game and then when to meets the Girls and harry at TGI Fridays. The Walter was found back at the hotel and girls had a good day out with Harry going round the shops. We had a good dinner and watched as the night-life in Newcastle started to build up. We walked back to the Hotel and got a good rest ready for the next day.
Sunday was a relaxing sunny day and we walked along the quayside market and up to the millennium bridge. We walked over the bridge and then stopped at the Pitcher and Piano bar for lunch. Harry had time to show off on a bouncy castle and was very happy with himself being able to walk to the back without falling. Dinner was in a local Italian restaurant. Monday we had a night walk round the town in morning and then got a taxi to the airport. Harry and nearly everyone else slept all the way home on the plane. He had a busy and exciting trip.
