Drove from our camp to Cairnryan, the terminal for our ferry to Northern Ireland. The circle closes again! After we had been to Arromanche, in northern France to see the Mulberry Harbour created for the D-Day landings, we arrived today at Cairnryan. This was one of several places where the enormous floating concrete blocks were manufactured, that were then towed across the channel to form the Mulberry Harbour. So interesting to complete the chain of information via panels in the waiting hall.
We had a very smooth 2 hour crossing to Belfast. Decided not to try to "see" Belfast so drove through the city, past City Hall and out the east side to a camp on a farm at Craigavon, not far from Lough Neagh, largest lake in Europe after Lake Geneva.
Another country - almost. Another ferry!
