Newcastle's NCYC was the perfect spot to secure
Harlequin for a while. In fact, it turned out to be a month!
Marking time for a spell, the town offered a wide variety of shops, services, entertainment, sights, history, some excellent surf beaches and possibly the world's best ice-cream to be found outside Italy, at
Kiwi Waffle 'n Cones on Zaara Street. You've got to try it and see.

We also invested in a couple of fold-up bikes to explore further afield, and are kicking ourselves for not doing so earlier. They were perfect for exploring far & wide in the beautiful summer weather.
Finally, the loan of a monster BMW 1200LT motorbike made transport even easier. But not having ridden a motorbike in years - and never anything as large as this beast - one had to try very hard not to drop it! In fact that's what the huge bike became known as: 'The Beast'!
Nuff chat. Let the pictures tell the story...
