It has been so long since the last post. We have traveled and traversed the countries of Ireland and North Ireland for the past 12 days. We have been going at full speed. We are now at the Dublin airport waiting for our next flight and next adventure.
Tulla (Irish for little hill), our Nissan 
Micra, was wonderful. She has brought our Irish trip to a close with 2697.1 km — 1675.9 miles in 12 days. As I said – full speed. For the first time on the trip we had an automatic. The guy renting us the car actually asked us if we knew how to drive an automatic!!!
In our Irish adventure we have spent time driving the countryside looking at the scenery and the sheep. We have covered the country from South to North taking 
in all we could. From natural phenomena like the Giants Causeway, to the ancient Irish tombs of Carrowmore dating from 4500 years before Christ. Sprinkled throughout the trip were amazing castles and some English language movies (we had to see Spider-Man and Wonder Woman).
We celebrated the 4th of July at the Cliffs of Moher. The day started as you would expect for the middle of summer about 50 degrees and raining but once we were out for about an hour the sun came out and it was breathtaking.
Yesterday we went to the Titanic Experience in Belfast – The experience was wonderful – Expensive but worth it. The US dollar is only about $0.77 currently against the British Pound. The experience tells the story not only of the ship but of the city of Belfast over the past 300 years.

oday, back in Dublin, we went to 
learn how to pull the perfect pint of Guinness. Yes, I know, completely touristy, completely hokey – but completely fun. We had a great time learning about Ireland’s favorite drink.
Our time with Izzie, Scotty and Tulla has been great and allowed us to see so much. Now, we are off to our next stop in our journey. This will be completely different as we are not renting a car. We are flying to Oslo, Norway tonight on our way to Helsinki, Finland then taking a ferry to Tallinn, Estonia. Our traversing of the countries will slow but our adventures will not.
