Country hopping

Our time in Scotland has come to a close. We stayed in Kilmarnook last night and took the ferry from Troon to Larne. Getting on and off the ferry was incredibly easy. We drove into Belfast to see the downtown area. We were going to hit the Titanic memorial site but Tony didn't want to spend two hours walking through it. We saw Belfast castle quickly and headed for the coastal causeway.

WOW!! The Northern Ireland shore is magnificent!! The water is green and the cliffs and rocks are breath taking. There was one road that again was a go cart width up the cliff. I'm just glad we never met an oncoming car. We took so many pictures. The hotel we're staying in has fairly slow internet connectivity and Tony is falling further and further behind in uploading my pictures. That doesn't keep me from taking them, however.

Tonight we're staying in a fairly strange bed and breakfast. It's very pretty and looks castle like, but it's new. But the road coming in to it didn't give us much confidence when there was a sign for a "grave from famine" down one of the paths along the driveway. We didn't ask about it and just hope we don't end up in it by morning.

We both are completely pooped and didn't want much for dinner. We found a pizza place that had takeout and brought it back here. Maybe a good nights sleep will fuel the exploring tomorrow. Who knows what adventures we'll find.
