We went to Ireland on a ferry and it was very nice. It had games but they cost a euro each and a free movie, Ant Man. We landed in Northern Ireland which is still part of England. When Ireland rebelled, they took over every single part except this part, which is still part of… Continue reading Ireland Part One

Northern Ireland and Dublin
We got to Northern Ireland on a ferry that went into Belfast. The ferry ride was two and a half hours long, but it had free movies and wifi which was pretty cool! Once we got off the boat we parked the camper, and went into Belfast. Belfast was a pretty gross place, my parents… Continue reading Northern Ireland and Dublin
Dublin and Friends
We spent St. Patrick’s day in Dublin, which was packed. We woke up early and left Howth to get a good spot for the parade, and we found one along a fence. We got McDonald’s for breakfast and waited for the parade to start. We had to wait two and a half hours for the parade… Continue reading Dublin and Friends

Even later than three am, you can hear… Continue reading Hostels
More on Castles and Food
While we’ve been here in the UK driving around, we’ve been to some castles. And learned that they can be very repetitive. Castle are fun to explore, the smaller castles more so, but then they start to just repeat. Bigger castles, like Caenarfon, get more and more repetitive as you walk on the side of… Continue reading More on Castles and Food

We drove into Cornwall and into Tintagel, which is a little town on the coast of Cornwall. We camped at a pub stop there and stayed there for a few days to save some money. The first day we where there we went to see King Arthur’s castle, and Merlin’s Cave. The castle is on… Continue reading Tintagel
