Well, not much to report and certainly no fun being had. The past couple of days have been harder than real work! I have been arranging insurance, registration etc for the motorcycle I am going to purchase on Saturday! Yup thats right after alot of work and it is not all done yet I am leaving Belfast bound for Lancaster, England. Saturday morning I will board a ferry to Stranraer in Scotland and then switch to the train to get me the rest of the way. The gen...

Ireland.Belfast Castle and Cave Hill were amazing.It is funny on my way up from Dublin to Belfast on the bus I was briefly able to shut my eyes.When I opened them again the city skyline was just upon us and there was an enormous mountain in the distance.I knew that to get a view of the city I would somehow need to get to the top.Well I did that and what an...
