Failte Ireland

We're back from a wonderful week of leprechaun spotting and ready to share our adventures and the Irish welcome we received with you. We've been to Northern Ireland and highly recommend it as a place to visit. The welcome is very warm, the scenery is stunning, the people are very friendly (we love the accent) and the Guinness is very, very good.


Our adventure started at Luton airport early in the morning. George & Yorkie being seasoned travellers, who think nothing of flying, took the opportunity to get some kip in the rucksack while we waited in departures for our plane to Belfast. I've only been on a plane once before - remember my sailing adventures in Greece? - so I was too excited to sleep and poked my head out the rucksack so I didn't miss anything.

Our plane was 30 minutes late as it had to be de-iced and cleared of snow before it could leave Belfast International airport to come and get us. This gave us a clue of what the weather would be like when we arrived. We arrived to snow and had to work quite hard to clear a thick layer of snow from our hire car before we could set off for our destination and home for the next week (there was even more snow on the passenger side).


In our next post we'll tell you more about where we went, why I was there, and the wonderful surprise that awaited us on reaching our destination.

Lots of love Eddie, George & Yorkie xxx
