It is very odd waking up in your campervan parked on the street outside a mates house. Still considering the amount of alcohol that was consumed, mostly by Li, it was a cunning idea all the same

Headache in place, we shared breakfast with Nicola, said our goodbyes and then headed north, Belfast bound. The Actons has told us of a Titanic Experience that was worth a visit, so as it was on route it seemed a shame not to stop off

Hours and hours of driving! Eventually we arrived, managed to avoid all the low barriers to get in the car park by finding what appeared to be a piece of wasteland to park on. The experience itself was quite good, loads of history about how the Titanic was built and kitted out, plus a ride to take you around the shipyard as it would have been back then. We also boarded the only remaining White Star Line ship in a dry dock next door. Souvenirs were purchased including a t-shirt for William and a hoodie for Rebecca, and we left after 2-3 hours. Worth the effort if you’re in Belfast but I wouldn’t go out of the way to see it

Continuing our journey up into Northern Ireland we were greeted with more flags on every street, house and lamppost than you can ever imagine. Our site for the next 2 days ended up being the best of the whole trip, Ballyness, in Bushmills. Lovely site with the best play area that you can hope for. Rebecca and William immediately made friends and we’re out until 9:30 playing. Lovely stuff!
