Cheeky trip to Newcastle!

We decided to head into Newcastle today to check out the new Body Worlds Animals exhibition at Centre for Life. After circling the city for what seemed like forever Daddy finally found somewhere to park - at the football ground! So we walked down the hill, underneath the Milburn Stand and past Sir Bobby Robson to the city centre. We were hungry but fortunately the endless debate about where we should go occurred earlier and we were on our way to Za Za Bazaar in the Gate, and it was fantastic! I had some sushi, some noodles, a burger, and lots and lots of ice cream!

As soon as we got to Centre for Life we made a bee-line for the 4D motion ride. There was some doubt over whether I'd be tall enough but after some creative hairdressing we were in! The ride was great; basically we were on a space ship fighting massive robots whilst getting jolted about and sprayed with water!

The Bodyworlds exhibition itself was pretty fascinating with all manner of preserved animals stripped back to just bone, tendon and muscle. Incredible to see what animals look like under their skin!

Couldn't resist a quite photo opportunity on the way back to the car!
