Welcome to Northern Ireland

We took the ferry from Scotland over to Belfast to start our tour of Northern Ireland.   I wouldn’t call it the prettiest place in terms of the overall look and feel of the country.  It was pretty overcast and cool the entire time we were there so that doesn’t help.  We’ve seen what we need to see there so I can’t see us going back, but it certainly was interesting the first time round.

As with the other parts of this trip we traveled with our friends John and Susan from North Carolina.
