To the East and Back Again: Derry

Started the morning at Gleneagles B&B, where we had orange juice in crystal, berries, homemade scones, along with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. Went down to the Guildhall, and parked and went to the square in front of the hall and just outside the walls. The clock said 9:55, and they opened at 10 so we waited until the clock tolled before heading in. The woman manning the desk had some wonderful hints about seeing the room and a shortcut to use a local shopping mall to get up the elevation change without all the effort.

Walked through the walled town, up to the cathedral, then up to the walls, and the cannon from the 1600's. Walked downhill to the guild hall, visiting the craft shops along the way, before our parking ran out. Well, it wasn't the running out that was the problem. Right now waiting to hear if I can get the parking ticket cleared as while we had mom's tag hung, it apparently was supposed to be on the dash.

We headed out to Enskellin, driving around the lake, and up to Bellek pottery. We signed up for the 4pm tour, and ended up with a private tour as we were the only ones there! Interesting to see the artistry and the process and the hand work that goes into it.

Got gas, then headed to Sligo where we are bedded down for the night.

Again, the photos!
