Fantastic day today, great weather! Whilst we were disappointed in Glasgow, Edinburgh was another story! We drove to the park and ride centre and caught a bus into Edinburgh city, good move as both the Military Tattoo and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival are in town. Plenty of people around, but the city seemed to cope well, we took our usual city tour to get our bearings. We visited Edinburgh Castle (15) it was excellent, we walked around for a couple of hours....

We caught a local bus to Glasgow today, and we were a little underwhelmed by Glasgow city. It was very busy, a lot of road works and miserable weather, Sarah only took 47 photos so that's a good indicator of our enthusiasm! We stayed on the city bus but could not see anything we wanted to see again, so went shopping instead! We also had to get away from the Americans from hell, US cruise ship in town so as usual they've taken over! Had a bit if drama on the way...

Today we left Ireland and made our way to Scotland, the voyage on the ferry was much better than our first trip! Sarah was happy as we had complimentary food and wine.

Stirling has a castle so we got to have a walk around, it was closed but if we have ...

We hiked 1km to the bridge (well Sarah did) I fell short, she crossed the bridge and had an awesome view of the coast. We passed by another historic castle at Dunluce before making our way to the Giant Causeway which is the 8th Wonder of the World...

Today we travelled from Dublin to Belfast it took about 2 hours, bit dicey in the cities, but once we got onto the motorway it was easier. We arrived at lunch time and hopped on a city bus tour, we could not get a seat up top, but it rained (lol) however we did join them eventually to get some better pictures. Belfast is confronting, it is a city trying to get on but still caught up with the past. We toured around the Shankill District which still has a wall wh...
