Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK.

Well, after being rained out for almost a week, we resorted to riding as much as we could when we could. Didn't have any internet access either so we stayed in a few bed and breakfasts along the way. We were lucky to find one the first day we got caught in the rain and the old lady who managed the homey place welcomed us in and even dried our drenched clothes for us. About 20 minutes previous to that I ran into Trevor while riding and had my first fall of the trip. I've got a nice purple right knee, but a round of warm baths took care of that as well as a couple days rest at the B&B.

After that we rode up to Ardee and spent two nights waiting for the rain to clear. The women was kind enough to make us breakfast the next day even though we definitely slept through it's normal cooking hours. Many baths there as well! She told us to make a shout out to them on our blog...unfortunately their name escapes me at the moment...

But we're in Belfast now staying at the International Youth Hostel and we have INTERNET! Hence, why I'm blogging right now! Tomorrow is supposed to be nice and so we're hoping to take the ferry over to Glasgow.

PS
Trevor has a tattoo now...pictures later :D!
