Arriving at the George Best Airport Belfast City(Francie keeps calling it the George Bush!!)
The other half of the Aussie Gypsies have arrived. We were flat strap the first few days showing them the sights of Nth Ireland then we headed into Southern Ireland. The weather has been fantastic, sunshine nearly all the way. We've toured castles, old estates and cathedrals, sang and danced in Pubs, over indulged in too much fine Irish food, pulled a guinness, climbed mountains, stood on cliffs, walked along and rode across Loughs, visited ancient Abbeys, toured a whiskey distillery, visited St Patrick's grave the list goes on and on, but Laura has all the photos about 4000 at the last count. We're now back in the North spending the night in a B & B just outside Belfast before catching a flight to Cardiff early tomorrow. So I've posted a few photos. Laura's mates can treat them as Starters they'll see the other 6 courses when she gets home!! (PS unable to add any of Laura's photos as they were too big!! If you double click on the photos you get a better view)
Hope all's well at home thanks again for all the emails we're off to Wales now and the rugby! Love from the Aussie Gypsies

Advised by Michelle to give this Blog thing a go while we're in Ireland for a few months. So we're going to give it a try we're usually pretty hopeless at taking photos and keeping travel journals but as we're emailling a fair few family and friends it might be a good way to stay in touch. We hope you have time to check it out and send us your comments. Following Michelle and Iz on their trip has certainly inspired us to make a bit of an effort.... full info
