On the road again!

Well here we are once again. Feels a bit strange since we haven't done the travel thing in so long but we are starting to relax and get into the holiday mood.

Ok so at the moment we're in Belfast and about to go out and look around a bit. We arrived in Dublin and after picking up our car drove up through Navan (looking at loads of interesting places on the way) and arrived here yesterday. So far the weather has been changeable but mostly sunny!

From here we go north along the Antrim coast and then down the west side via Derry, Dunfanaghy, Westport, Galway, Dingle Peninsula and then back up towards Dublin by way of Cork, Kilkenny and a few other smaller villages. Dublin itself we're saving for a long weekend later in the year which gives us more time for the rest of the country this trip.

Probably the most impressive place we've been to so far is Bru na Boinne a group of neolithic passage graves some 5000 years old. Older than Stonehenge and so fairly impressive!! And gives you a real perspective on your life and what you leave behind.

Have taken loads of photos already but unsure how to get them in here....hopefully will work that out soon. Post again soon.
