Destination Anticipation – Northern Ireland

After a warm and sunny week in Malta we are sad to be moving on, but excited with the opportunity to finally explore one of our most anticipated destinations – Ireland. With only 13 days to explore this amazing island, we will be hard-pressed to cram everything we want in – but we are definitely going to try our best!

The first 6 days of our time on the island will be spent in Northern Ireland. Our original plans did not include a stop in Northern Ireland, but after finding an amazing deal from Malta to Belfast, we figured we should take the opportunity to try something new and be a bit more spontaneous.

Traditionally known more for the “Troubles” than tourism, Belfast and the other amazing parts of this small region of Ireland are beginning to register on more than a few itineraries, and we are very excited to see what this area has to offer. From the Giant’s Causeway to a Black Cab tour of Belfast to a wander around “Free Derry” – we are expecting to have an absolute blast. Now if only the weather will cooperate…
