London to Ireland

We spent the night in a B&B in Stansted – we were not going to miss another plane! Very pleasant an comfortable night. Neil Parker met us at the airport in Belfast and whisked us off to do a tour of Belfast. It was very interesting to learn about the history of Belfast and the “Troubles”. The next on the agenda was a pint of Guinness at the Crown. It was grand! I never liked the taste of Guinness before but this was wonderful. We then went to Ballynahinch to meet Raymond and Elizabeth and have dinner at local pub. We also met Stewart and his family. Next day we went to the Giant’s Causeway and Bushmills. Northern Ireland is very beautiful and the Parker family made us so welcome. A fun loving warm family, we really enjoyed meeting them all and seeing your home Steven-they miss you very much!
