The past couple of days have been fun-filled and busy. We enjoyed our incredible stay in Northern Ireland with Meaghan. We can´t thank her enough for the hospitality she gave us. We were sad to say goodbye, but it was time for us to move along.
On Wednesday we took the bus to Belfast. Met up with Meaghan for lunch and a wee bit of shopping for Nancy. We said our goodbyes and "until next time" and made our way by train to Carrickfergus. With perfect timing, Nancy´s cousin Lorraine pulled up with her son Stephen. They took us back to their house to meet the rest of the family.
We were warmly welcomed and treated to drinks and snacks as we chatted and caught up. The family then took us to cousin Margaret´s farm. We had a lovely spread and met Arlene, Claire, Victoria, Linda, Margaret and John. After dinner, we had fun playing football with the kids. Eventually, the night had to come to an end, and meant more goodbyes. We headed back to Arthur and Lorraines for a short sleep before we woke up early for the flight to London. Arthur was so kind to drive us to the airport, which was at the ghastly hour of 4:30am. Thank you, Thank you, thank you Arthur.
We had a great flight into London. Took the train back to the downtown, and met up with Ling. Ling totally looked after us, even taking us to Royal Albert Hall to attend a BBC prom of Chamber choir music by Mozart and Dvorak. We really enjoyed our short stay with Ling. Thank you LING!
Again, we had to get up super early at 4am Thursday to make our way back to the airport. It was all worth it, as we had a terrific time.
We had another good flight, landing in Munich on time. The weather was great when we landed, taking the train to the city centre and finding our hotel. We made it to the King´s hotel. We were happy to see the bed and quickly fell asleep.
We are looking forward to enjoying the next few days here in Munich. We are planning a visit to the gallery for Saturday and possibly a couple day trips just outside of Munich for Sunday and Monday.
Cheers!
