On holiday in Ireland 🇮🇪 with Gulf war buddies visiting on the second week
We went to Omagh with our army friends to visit the Ulster American Folk Park. Very interesting in going through the stages of the immigration of residents in Omagh to Pennsylvania in the USA during the famine in Northern Ireland. We visited all the workshops in Ireland with actors outlining the difficulties they faced then crossed the imaginary line via a boat into USA where we visited the shows and residents houses and farms of that period. Plenty of catching up and drinking and remembering Fudgey boy. Next day went on a boat trip in Dunlewy as well as walking round the old church.
Afterwards as seen in video above after dropping one of our friend off at Belfast international airport we went to Donaghadee where Hope street is filmed and is renamed port Devine. Lovely town and while there visited the distillery. Could not visit the pub as filming was going on which in the series is Commodore but is Pier 36 in the town itself. Afterwards stayed at Clandeboye Lodge a nice hotel just outside Belfast. In the morning after breakfast we went onto visit Bangor and Coleraine and did some shopping going back to Milford via a ferry to Moville. Then spent rest of time catching up with Jacqueline’s cousins and doing DIY on house. On way back to ferry stopped off at Belfast for a meal an walk
