We travelled from Newcastle to an area near Durham to have lunch at "The Ship." This traditional yet untraditional pub was tucked into the countryside, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Our lunch included a very nice selection and helping of Thai cuisine, set in the back of a quintesential english pub. However, upon arrival, we were able to take in the great views of the English countryside 
and snap a few pictures of the horses and ponies nearby. We finished lunch early and had coffee and drinks at "Bowes Incline." While not an incline in the traditional sense of what most Americans may think, this used to be home to the wagons that laborers would use to carry Coke, a form of refined coal, out of the mines. The restaurant was tucked in behind a horse stable and we even passed a pony-in-training along the way.

We departed after saying goodbye to friends and family and met up with Kevin from Centurion Tours. He took us to our accommodations, the Ramada Jarvis, in the Blackrod community of Bolton. After a long day of travel, it was nice to retire to a comfortable bed and get some rest before meeting the group at the airport early in the morning.
