Edinburgh, Scotland and England to Belfast, Northern Ireland
Last days of a vacation are always hard, and leaving Scotland wasn’t easy. This morning we were smart and left before the city woke up
…and before the parking ramp woke up, since we had a lot of trouble getting our bike out and on the road.
We had time to kill before our ferry back to Belfast,
so we headed south to the border visit England, just because it was there.
We didn’t realize we were so close to Hadrian’s Wall and the forts the Romans built along the wall in the ancient times, Apparently we may, or may not, have actually seen the Wall,

| Probably not Hadrian's Wall. |
...since it looks like a regular stone farm fence (according to friends who have visited it).
This little side trip caused us to be late reaching the ferry. The attendant was nice enough to just book us on the next ferry, which wasn’t for several hours.
With some extra time on our hands, we knew where we had to go.
Ivy’s Fish and Chicken Bar in Stranraer, just down the road.
We weren't disappointed. The food was just as good the second time!
We made our way back to CairnRyan...
...made it onto the ferry, and headed back to
Northern Ireland.
We’d enjoyed our time in Belfast so much the year before,
that we made sure we had a night in the city. Staying in the same area we’d
stayed previously visiting a few of our favorite places, like
The Duke of York
Kelley’s Tavern
Eventually we had to force ourselves to call it a night, after another wonderful time in Belfast.
