Not much exciting stuff happened today. We hustled to move our car by 8am when parking enforcement kicked in and drove to do some laundry. After that, we headed out of Belfast, crossing into the Republic of Ireland. The tales of the boringness of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic are all true. (For those who don't know, there are no customs or border controls of any kind at the border.) We crossed a bridge, the speed limit and distance signs changed to kilometers, the road signs became bilingual with both English and Irish, and that was it. The change from miles to kilometers was a welcome change because our little Fiat Panda measures distances and speeds solely in kilometers. We bought a new SIM card for my phone in Ballybofey and made our B&B arrangements for the evening, supped, etc.
