Stockton - On - Tees 7 - 9 June
Reached Stockton on time. Had to call Gaurav to let him know I was there - he was about 5 mins away.
I had a good stay at their house though. Kids are good, stayed in their room mostly.
On Saturday afternoon Gaurav took me to see Saltburn. Nice little town on the coast. The interesting thing was the ocean and how it just appears to be going up as we were walking down. And the cliffs were amazing. The beach was nice; we did not go in the water but just walked around. There were colorful small rooms available for rent. Most could hold only two people, had a small kitchen with a little outer area. Very nice for a weekend.
On Sunday, Shivangi decided to join us to go to the Abbey. It was a nice trip. The Abbey was wonderful khandhar, perfect for shooting a vampire movie (as they did there). When it rained, we went to the café and had some tea and cakes. Really good cakes. We went to look for Dracula’s coffin but could not find it. Bummer!
Monday afternoon, Gaurav wanted me to visit the Naval Museum but none of us bothered to check the opening times, and it was closed! So I ended up sitting in the hospital tea shop for about three hours until Gaurav finished his rounds.
Overall it was a great trip. I enjoyed talking to Gaurav and Shivangi. Very easy going and comfortable to talk to. Hopefully we will meet again.
