Northern Ireland

We spend a lot of our time living in the endless heats of sunny Thailand, so what we really miss is the 4 distinct seasons celebrated in Northern Ireland. The Spring, summer, autumn and winter. And while people do generally see the summer months as being the best time to visit Northern Ireland, I do

I can say we had no real enthusiasm for this trip to Dublin, given we had both caught colds on arrival to Belfast, and were coughing our lungs up on the bus down. But we also failed to find much excitement online either, where, unlike Belfast City Centre with its Christmas market at city hall,

People locally know that there is Free Entry to the Giants Causeway, whereas most tourists think that it is exclusively a paid tourist attraction. Hence we see it as a bit of a tourist trap. However, the so-called admission charge isn’t for access to the actual coastline and the picturesque basalt columns, but for the

Northern Ireland for me is the perfect road trip destination, with short distances between close-knit tourist attractions, well-maintained roads, and just so much sightseeing in between.

Because in the city of Bangor, along with many ‘unionist’ parts of Northern Ireland, there are

A visit to Rathlin Island may sound like a full-day itinerary in itself, but really it can be easily added to a wider itinerary along the Causeway Coast. On our visit, for example, we started out from the seaside city of Bangor, we stopped for breakfast on Belfast’s Laganside, before making a detour past Ballymoney

In Asia, I found the secret to many a girl’s hearts was through cute, fluffy, adorable, sheep. And this was no different with Fanfan, and I remember on her first visit to Bangor in Northern Ireland, when she’d sit in the back seats of the car, with my 3-year-old nephew, glued to the window, and pointing out
