Not a whole lot to fill you in on today! This basically a travel day for us as we left Glasgow for Dublin. We were up at the crack of dawn to get on the bus to our ferry that would bring us across the Irish Sea to our next stop, Belfast. The ferry we took was a larger ferry that allowed the bus to be loaded on the lower deck along with other vehicles, buses and trucks. The upper deck where we were contained a little casino, a kids play area, food court and coffee bar as well as comfy chairs to relax in for our two hour sailing. While on our way to the ferry, we made a quick stop along the water for a photo opportunity, and had it not been for the huge body of water ahead of me, I would have sworn I was at home in North Dakota! It was windy and damp this morning, all we needed was a little snow! This photo op was a small island called Ailsa Craig. It's about 220 acres and has been used to make curling stones since 1851! Once on board the ferry, it was a little rough and you had to get your sea legs under you while walking about.

Upon arrival in Ireland, we drove off the ferry and the first stop was to the shipyard where the Titanic was built. We didn't have time to do the complete tour (although there are tours available), but we were able to see where it all began for the unfortunate ship! From there it was a drive through the city of Belfast to see the highlights and a break for lunch. After lunch it was off to Dublin and here we are at the hotel. We're taking a little rest before heading out to find a pub for dinner and that's it for today! Tomorrow will be much more exciting with a city tour and a trip to Glendalough, rounding out the day with a trip to the Guiness Storehouse!
