Belfast, Northen.Ireland

Well, Miss Daisey is NOT happy - the Abbey Tours bus is 1 1/2 hrs late to pick up the group for the city and north coast tour:(
DID YOU KNOW? Mashed potatoes are known here as "champ"? An industrial giant in the 19th century, Belfast is named famous for its linens and shipyards. Outside the city, a visit gets underway to the north coast to see the marvels Giants Causeway & the Carrick A Rede rope bridge. Unfortunately, today is Friday the 13th - and the late start puts the group behind all the other tour buses (and crowds) at these attractions. Virginia, the wonderful guide salvages a nice day, treats us to a tradional "Irish stew" lunch and the sun comes out to enjoy a high 60 degree day. All is well with the Travelers.  dh
