SCOTT is going home... :-(
Yesterday was Scotts farewell (respectively good bye and see you again soon) party.
Monika, Scott and me went to Scott's Tennis Club and played tennis for around 2 hours! It was great and much fun even though it was slightly raining... .

After an exhausting game, we went to Lonsdale - the nearby pub - to meet other friends of Scott and have dinner there.
Afterwards we went back to the Tennis Club to a benefit fund for kidney research.
I was really tired when I came home after a long day...

CANOEING, PUB and PIZZA

Last wednesday was the final session of the Northumbria Canoeing Club.
Unfortunately I managed to go only twice. However I really enjoyed it ... :-)
So - as it was the last meeting - we got this huge inflatable mattress ...

...YUPPIE!!!!...

... I only have this picture as I was a bit busy afterwards...!
After canoing we went to a pub (Lonsdale) and wanted to eat.

... every guy in the pub was looking at us ... strange feeling... :-)

(-can't be just because of the football match which was projected behind us?!?)


As there was no food served anymore at the Lonsdale, we went to a nearby italian restaurant (Alex, me, Monika and Scott).

... Yuppie - Pizza!!!

DAVID @ NEWCATSLE UPON TYNE

David visited me (3.-6.5.2007) here in England! Although he was just 3 days here, I think he's seen a lot!
First of all I showed him the typical night life here...

...at the "Sports bar" in "The Gate" (a cinema and bar-building)

...at Mr. Lynch (also -of course- a pub!) ;-) with live music... everyone enjoyed the evening!

We also did sight seeing. So we've been to the Baltic to admire the pictoresque view from the terrace. (the Milleniumbridge, the Sage, ...).


... the Milleniumbridge...

... The Sage in Gateshead...

... the stadium was crowded! (wow!!!) ... it was great fun!


And some more sight seeing
