1 & 2 & 3 & 4.... 5 & 6...& 322

That was alot of steps.
We spent the day in Durham, a nearby city, with only a 15 minute train ride from here in Newcastle. The majority of our time was spent in the Durham Cathedral- it was epic. We climbed the some 300 stairs in a very narrow spiral stairwell, all to get to the highest point in Durham, the top of the cathedral. The view was amazing.

Look familiar? That's what we thought too. Two words: Harry. Potter.

This is the part where they filmed Harry Potter. They actually used the room to the right as a classroom. If I'm not mistaken, I believe it was Professor McGonagall's class-or office, rather. Jordan, don't kill me if I got that wrong :).



'Twas tight quarters in the tower stairwell.
