Well our time in Belfast is fast approaching its climax, we're just about to head to the ferry for our onward journey to the McFatherland, hoping that the pending storms will hold off. Could be a choppy ride.
We've enjoyed our stay in N Ireland, we done a wee tour of the city and seen lots of great murals from the troubled times and soaked up a bit of the history of the place. It's marching season here and the unionist flags dominate the landscape of the streets in much of the city. Yesterday we went to see the Giants Causeway, site of the mythical Irish and Scottish giants' cat n' mouse chase many moons ago, which is an amazing place. Beautiful scenery along the Antrim coast up there. Also went to the Bushmills Distillery, got tipsy by osmosis and learnt the differences between Irish and Scottish whiskies.
After that we watched Andy Murray being annihilated by a Spaniard wearing a thong, and we've generally had a great time catching up with James and Shelley.
So its onward now to Scotland, arrive in Stranraer this afternoon where we'll meet my (Al's) folks, so cannae wait for that.
Funniest part of the trip so far, has to be Jo's innocent comment upon seeing an old hippy in medieval gear protesting at Stonehenge: "He's dressed like Jesus and he's using a mobile phone. Is that allowed...?"
Right, more to come very shortly.
Ta-ra for noo
Al and Jo
