I'm probably the only American who has now done Newcastle 3 times in less than 2 years. Such is life when you are friends with a Toon! Another great group, another wonderful weekend.
We stayed out by the airport this time at the Premier Inn. We took the metro in for the match after we dropped off our bags...
Then it was off to the match, Arsenal v. Newcastle at St James Park.
Some of the group who made it there before us
The game was really fun. The Magpies lost, but as a secret Gunners fan, it was a great game. The seats were incredible. We saw all of the action on our side of the field, including a few Arsenal goals. Alexis Sanchez had a great game and the crowd was definitely into this game. Newcastle was in the midst of a really bad slide, but no one really expected them to win against Arsenal even in the best days. They did keep it close though for a while, so it was a rowdy crowd.
Then it was off to my favourite restaurant in Newcastle - great location. After that, we headed to the best Newcastle has to offer...and it didn't disappoint. Best place we went had some incredible wedding dance tunes...I love cheesy music.
Found out the next day we appeared on the BBC...it's a bit of a blurry picture so you can't see me, but exciting!
We caught the mid afternoon train back after Sunday Roast and slept the whole way. Seriously great weekend with really good friends!
