2001 in Great Britain

Part 7: Ireland

We crossed the border near Derry into Ireland and bought some petrol. The prices here are about 30% lower than in Northern Ireland, probably due to a lower petrol tax. We then drove to Letterkenny for lunch. Fish and chips for me, a chicken sandwich and chips for Ian. The portion of chips, for one Irish punt (about 80p) were huge. We'd have had to pay 80p back in 1984 for that many chips from Joe's.

Irish Village
We then headed up Lougheach Skelly to see some Irish scenery. Near the top of the drive, I took a few pictures, but with the weather closing in, my first Irish adventure was to rate a small stop. By the time we crossed back into Northern Ireland on the way to Omagh, the rain had begun.
