Ferry ride on the Irish Sea

Today we had a new adventure - Crossing the Irish Sea from Scotland to Belfast, Northern Ireland.  After loading our bus along with approximately 100 other cars and buses we proceeded on the 2 1/2 hour crossing.  Lunch on the ferry boat, some very nice photo opportunities, etc.  After a driving tour of Belfast we headed to Dublin with a couple of stops in between.  I've included some photos of our beautiful hotel for the next two nights - The Royal Marine Hotel which is right on the sea with a couple of yacht clubs right across the road.  Final stop of the day was Scrum Diddly's Irish Ice Cream shop.
