"London" Derry
On Tuesday - November 4
Drove up from our (very cold) hostel room room to Londonderry today. This is Ireland's only walled city and has a lot of history from conflict in the early 1600's to the most recent conflicts of the 80's. We enjoyed our walking tour of the city. With it being "out of season" we were the only 2 on the tour! That was kind of neat. Our favorite part of the day was walking through the Bogside to view the Political Murals that pay tribute to the many years of struggle. Today the city is peaceful with little conflict to report.
Following our day here we drove to our B&B in Portrush, a summer fishing town that is sleepy this time of the year. It looks like we were the only ones here, and we got a great bay view from our second floor room.
