After driving a bit longer it soon became clear we were coming into Northern Ireland, as all the road signs once again changed this time to British road signs. We passed through some very nice although small villages and stopped to take some photos of some old style church’s and castles.

We passed through Enniskillen, Omagh, Cookstown before coming to Ardboe, where we visited an old Abby and the Ardboe High Cross. From here we continued on to the M1 motorway which brought us into Belfast. We spent the rest of the afternoon walking around Belfast and viewing some of the murals painted on the walls here.

I’m currently writing this blog post while sitting in the restaurant where we had dinner borrowing someones free wifi. The restaurant is the Gourmet Burger Bank. The waiter here proudly told us that gourmet burgers originated in NZ!

We got back on the planned route and continued on to Clifton where we had lunch at Guys Pub. As the weather today was dull, windy and rainy (I’m told this is normal for Ireland) we continued driving and didn’t stop much. Preferring to view the country side from the warmth of the car.

We continued on through Westport and Castlebar until we reached Sligo which is where we are staying tonight. We had a walk around town which has I nice river running through it then went and found the B&B where we are staying tonight
