My cousin, Aan came to Durham for 9 days after her Euro trip...we were excited to meet her as it has been quite a while not seeing her...we fetched her at the train station and good girl Eryna was happy to meet her aunty :)...on her arrival day, we did not do much as we know she was tired except bringing her to our friends birthday celebration...the next day we managed to bring her to Dalton Park for her to do her shopping and thereafter to Seaham...on 030809, we decided to just laze around in the house and the day after we went to Durham town...the following day we went to Newcastle...brought her to Metrocentre, Millenium Bridge and had fish and chips for lunch... we wanted to also bring her to Angle of the North but due to the road works which closed the junction, she  had to just wave from far...maybe next time around will be bring you Aan...after two days of relaxing, we went for rasberry picking and to the park...the weather was fine and all of us had fun...090809, we said goodbye to Aan and we sent her off at the train station...

We hope Aan had fun staying with us and enjoyed all the food that i cooked...
