Details as the day progresses

Before leaving Derry-Londonderry, I had a short driving and walking tour. Saw the site where “the bloody Sunday” happened.

Memorial for “Bloody Sunday” in Northern Ireland

Street in Derry-Londonderry

Saw the parliamentary building that looks more like a church and was blown up on more than one occasion.

Walked across the peace bridge.

Guildhall from the Peace Bridge

Walked along the old city walls.

In the museum inside the Guild hall, they had an exhibit that told the history of the region. The troubles in Ireland started way back in 1600’s.

Me and the statue of Queen Victoria in the Guild Hall

Donegal for lunch. Seems my UK mobile data doesn’t work here in Ireland. I guess I will be begging for free WiFi until I get back into the UK.

Pottery place.

Stopped here along the coast, I think mostly to stall for time  since we were going to get to the hotel before the scheduled check in time.

W B Yeats grave.

Waiting for the sun to set to get the view from the Radisson Blu here in Sligo. They have free WiFi here for guests. 🙂
