Derry and brilliant craic

Well last night we were in Derry for the night. The ever charming & extremely knowledgeable Stephen McPhilemy lead us on a walking tour of the walled city.

Dinner was lovely, and then it was off to my fave bar in the world: Paedar O'Donnell's. The music was great as usual and the crowd was nice too. I didn't join the hostel bunch continuing the party after closing, I caught a cab home and slept blissfully in my private b&b room - definitely the way to travel! ;)

We're off to the Giant's Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge today and then to Belfast for the night. It's not my fave place, but it's another b&b night so all's well! :)

Only 4 days left in Ireland...oh how time flies! :(

On tour again

So today I've been in Ireland for a week and it feels way longer, as usual. I had a great little bus family on the 4 day South West tour and already miss them *sniffles*

Yesterday I went to Palm Sunday service at Christ Church Cathedral. Wow. Such a great old church, so much history, everything's gorgeous.

Last night was nice and chilled, dinner from Tesco's at the hostel, drinks with other hostel folks and a drink at the pub before bed. No matter what I do I'm averaging 3-4 hrs sleep a night and it's killing me. Hopefully 2 nights in a b&b private room give me a chance to catch up.

Still lots to do in Ireland, but looking forward to sleeping in my own bed again for sure.
