...and the sun shone!

We made our way from Sligo to Belfast in Northern Ireland today. This is a soft border but once the UK exits theEuropean  union, that may change as we essentially went from the republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland, UK. There is a lot of tension here historically based on religion and power (and who the power belongs to).

We had a quick stop at a rock circle believed to be 5000 years old.

We stopped for a tour of Derry (also referred as Londonderry). This was the site of great unrest in the 60s and 70s, including “Bloody Sunday “. 

It is also famous for its intact city wall which was completed  in 1618!

We took a tour around the top of the wall.

After the “troubles” of the 60s and 70s, they have since built a peace bridge within the city.
