Tour Day One - Derry

Hi all, - Firstly Jacqui I did say that there maybe some difficulty over the next 10 days updating due to access the computer regularly so don't panic if there are a few days with nothing.
So we started yesterday, with some difficulty with some people running late and us having to wait for them at aservo- but all good.
We had a great day- and a much better night of partying with all the people on the bus. Just a few photos of our day and night.

St Peter's church which had the skull of the Catholic bishop that was hung drawn and quartered for promoting the catholic religion.  (I didn't get a photo of it it was too hard to make out as was in class case)

My photo of the stain class window- Alison's was better but this has already taken ages to do and I can not be bothered to upload her photos as well - sorry.

Alison and my first day and first photo on the bus- look how happy we are- and we are tired load nite at the hostel so we didn't get much sleep.

Another church- the name escapes me at this time as it is 10.30pm and I am really tired (do have it written some where- sorry x 2

I looked surprised that we are out drinking given the lack of sleep from the night before. This is in the shebeen at thew hostel we are staying at - round 8pm - party has been going for 2 hours.

Didn't matter what i did I just couldn't get a photo that showed how small and how many people. There was about 50 people in the shebeen

Looking happier many drinks later finally got to real Irish pub with real live music (and some ciders have helped)

This is the bar we are in- still having issue with the flaring of night light with the camera.

So Although we did the walking tour of Derry and looked at the murals etc I  felt a little odd taking photos of areas of such violence so I choose not to. Will down load some from the net to remind me and add to blog at a later time. It was a very somber and sad tour to say the very least.

Well bye and miss you from here.
Karen and Alison
