Northern Ireland




Hey!
Finally we`re catching up on the posts! The next is from Northern Ireland. Most of it spent in and around the wonderful city of Belfast, where Derek`s mother is from. We also made a special trip to Bangor where his father is from too, as well as many other trips to cool places in the area. We were lucky enough to have a great place to stay...with Derek`s family; his Aunt Maureen and Uncle Jim. They made us feel very welcome, spoiled us and fed us great Irish tucker. They also drove us to many of the country`s beautiful attractions. Enjoy the pics!

Us at Giants Causeway...Derek had a few flashbacks to when he visited there 20 years ago!
