The two tour guides we encountered here in Derry (I'm calling it Derry rather than Londonderry not because of my religious or political views, but because it's easier to type) ask people to leave the city with the view that it is actually called Legenderry..... and well it is.
The idea that everyone was free was worth emblazoning on a wall.
And ai, the craic was pretty good here too...... these are "Lady Guinnesses" - much more palatable!
This little bar in Derry was recommended to us by Stacey and Barney and Stacey's sister Lindsay and Lindsay's husband, Steve. We met them in Port Rush. They were completely hammered in the bar we were in as it was Lindsay's birthday. They invited us to stay at their house (!) and said we should meet them at this pub - the greatest in Derry. Stacey and Barney are getting married in 2014. He's Protestant and she's Catholic..... that should be interesting. Anyway, we got to the pub (with no intention to meet these people) and had some Guinness and we asked the bar tender if he knew them. We showed him photos to help and he said "Oh yeah, she's really sweet, but he's a dickhead!"
Just what we thought.
