Once again we did not have free Internet Saturday night.
We started today in the town of Sligo, in northwestern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland). Our first stop was at the Belleek pottery factory in Belleek, Northern Ireland. It was right across the bridge from a former Border checkpoint. We saw demonstrations of their pottery making process. One member of our group even got to break some new pottery (it did not pass inspection so it was to be broken).
Next was an area on the northern coast named "Giant's Causeway". It is an area along the sea coast that contains many upright 6-sided columns of rock created as a result of volcanic actions. There is also a corresponding area in Scotland.
During the day today we entered / left the Replublic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, just depending upon the road. As of right now there are no 'passport' points.
We ended up in Belfast, Northern Ireland late afternoon. we had about an hour and half before our dinner in the hotel so we walked around the area between the hotel and the local river (Fast Fiver, 'Bel' means 'Mouth of', hence Belfast).
