We are going down for a long weekend and hoping to not spend a fortune while we are there as we managed to get some cheap train tickets on a return basis so its a pretty cheap travel down there and accommodation currently, we are staying at the jesmond dene hotel which looks pretty new and clean so it should be a great place to stay.
Hopefully we can see all the sights while we are down in the big smoke, stuff like Buck Palace, London Eye and Birdcage Walk amongst others.
