A Day Trip to Durham

Posted on October 2, 2023September 24, 2023 By sweet surrender No Comments on A Day Trip to Durham
Arrived in Newcastle, UK

We arrived in Newcastle, UK on 14th August 2023 at noon. Then, it was about a one-hour drive to my sister’s place from Newcastle International Airport. We just stayed home to rest for 2 days.

Durham Day Trip

Then on the 4th day, 17th August, we went for a day trip to Durham after we got the van for 8 of us for the weekend. We started our journey around 10 a.m. It was about a half-hour drive. Not too far. Here’s the summary I made on Instagram Reel:

Before we started our walk in Durham, we had an early lunch at Zen Durham. Since it was still a working day and it was still too early for lunch, we managed to get a good seat inside. Here’s what we had there:

Overview of Durham’s Street

After lunch, we leisurely walked around the hilly city. The following are some views that greeted us during our walk:

Gaia at Durham Cathedral

The highlight of the day was the Gaia in Durham Cathedral. I’ve seen the Museum of the Moon at Borneo Cultures Museum by the same artist. Didn’t expect to see the other art installation by UK artist Luke Jerram in the UK. I did not plan the trip so it was a surprise for sure. So, I can proudly say that I’ve seen the moon and earth by Luke Jerram in two different countries in the same year less than 2 months apart.

Durham

Look at how big the building is!

There are many graves in the surrounding. It was quite cloudy when we were there and the vibes sure were quite different. It felt “dark”. However, with people around and the greeneries, the “darkness” wasn’t that “dark”.

Durham Markets

After visiting the cathedral, we went to Durham Markets. We just walked around and window-shopped. Since it wasn’t a weekend, it’s not that happening but still with a good crowd. I’m sure it will be packed on a weekend.

Blogging since 2002. Anything before 2006 is no longer available. It is no longer on this server. Back then, I built my own blog and updated it using HTML. No database or anything. Only started blogging fully with a CMS in 2006. However, whatever was on the Internet will stay on the Internet. So... It should be still somewhere on the Internet. Then again... Why do you want to dig that far?
