Wow - imagine being here !!!
Yesterday we drove from Dublin to Dunfanaghy which is in northern Donegal. It was a long drive but we stopped on the way at the Belleek pottery centre and saw some of the work there and some of the historic pieces on display. We also watched a video on how they make this pottery. Thanks to Laura for telling me about Belleek - I hadn't known about it before. We also stopped at a place ...

Paid 10£ to try a shot of 21 year old, as expected it was good, but I wont be spending 125£ on a bottle of it anytime soon.

On one corner, the rock wall encroached into both lanes making the road one car width. Instead of creating the lines up to a certain point then having give way signs they simply continued to run the center line along the road, I wish I'd taken a photo!
We continued along the coast and just before 4pm we reached Carrick-a-Rede, a rope bridge ...
Day 9
No Internet last night so I didn't send a blog. We arrived in Belfast at about 1900. Then had a tour of the city. Very interesting place. The guide was insistent that the 'troubles' where over but they had their 3rd night of riots last night and the city is divided by high fences with razor wire on top with one side catholic and the other side Protestant. As we travelled north ...
