I finally made it to Newcastle, UK. The search for Jimbuna

nikimcbee · 10-14-10, 12:45 PM

I thought to myself; Well Jim sailed over here, now it was my turn to visit Jim in Newcastle. So I set sail. Here's a few pictures of the trip/adventure.

The castle at the center of town. (I mean centre of towne)

Newcastle proper:

Chateau d'Buna

Local mill:

Newcastle bus system.

Double decker bus:

the local sherriff

Jim's uncle, Percy, local bouncer:

City council meeting

Kratos?

The dread British python

Look, I found Steed! (a nobel steed)

Now where is that Jim!

I've got a pint and a turkey leg for you.

Now those rumo(u)rs that mcbee is a hobbit are untrue....no wait

Looks like someone went to the local Renaissance Fair.

But he didn't lie. That is definitely a new castle.

Hmm....Newcastle has improved quite a lot these last few years

(p.s Cant' be the real Newastle, no locals just wearing shorts and t-shirts in the middle of winter

)

On a typical saturday night in the middle of winter shorts and a t-shirt could be considered an excessive amount of clothing for a lot of the locals.
