At this morning we spent the whole morning and noon time at the beach of Harlech under the Harlech Castle. Afternoon we went forward to the North-West of Wales. We have crossed the Pont Britannia Bridge an reached Holyhead, the city with the onliest female Quidditch-Team in the word. Here we have started our Harry Potter sightseeing. In the evening we took the ferry to Dublin, Ireland and chosen a campsite in Rush. This campsite has been chosen in April 2017 by us already.

Dublin and Irland haven been visted from us in April 2017, therefore we have decided to go forward to Northern-Ireland. We made our lunch break at Newgrange a prehistory spot but without booking in advance the doors still stayed close for us. Nevertheless it was possible to have a short walk along Newgrange. In Castleblayney wa have found a freesite spot for this night directly in front of an playground, park and lake.

After the breakfast we drove to the harbour of Larne in order to buy tickets for the ferry to Scotland, planned for the next day. In the afternoon we reached Belfast and spent many hours in this fantastic city. For Lisa and myself it was incredible to stay in this town where we known so many songs from the youth.

 

Our overnight spot was in the harbour of Whitehead, a wonderful spot for our last stop in Northern-Ireland.

The whole morning we enjoyed a walk through Whitehead. At this day there was a festival in Whitehead, a sailing trip at the beach and an funfair and oldtimer meeting at the sports ground. Concluding we enjoyed fish-and-chips with the view to the harbour and the colorful houses of Whitehead.

In the afternoon we took a ferry and have reached the most northern country on our tour, Scotland. We overnighted in a backyard directly in Ayr and close to the playgrounds at the beach.

 

An amazing morning in Whitehead and a long evening at the playgrounds at the beach of Ayr.
