Travel to Belfast day 35 Sun 27 May 2018

Another dry and windy day. After breakfast left the Red Townhouse in Penrith Cumbria, drove towards Cairnryan. As we had some time available I stopped at Cardoness Castle and took a couple of photos. On the other side of the road was a path following a canal to a wider spot called Port Macadam where goods were loaded onto small cargo sailing ships before steam railways. Continued on to Stranraer where we had lunch with unusual dark headed seagulls. Drove on to Cairnryan Stena ferry terminal and the car travelled on deck 3. Saw busses on deck 5. We found seating on deck 8 and could see Ireland as soon as the ferry reached the end of the bay. Drove to All Seasons Guesthouse on arrival in Belfast Northern Ireland. Difficult off street parking. Purchased a Ireland roadmap guide after dinner.Read more
