Worktrip to Ireland

At the airport, about to fly to Belfast.

Waiting to board.

Ireland had a smattering of snow covering it.

Stopping at a hotel/restaurant close to the airport.

Good food.

Back to the little rental car.

We stopped at the factory we were going to work in over the weekend before arriving at the country-side hotel. Here are my two beds: One for sleeping in and one for storing my clothes. So helpful to have an extra bed!

Old style, but pretty.

The outside of the hotel, and my coworker. The hotel was unusual in that they didn’t start serving breakfast until 8 am, so we had a relatively late start.

Where we stopped for a late lunch.

Almost all of the snow gone!

A new restaurant for lunch, this time with a view!

The view from where we sat.

Last day in the countryside. This was the view out of my window.

My coworker checking out by the grand staircase.

Very cosy seating area downstairs.

This hotel hosts a lot of weddings apparently!

We left the factory at a reasonable hour, and drove back to Belfast.

Scenes from Belfast.

Not a lot of people around.

When we booked the tickets, we didn’t realize that driving to Dublin, and flying directly home would have been a lot better than driving to Belfast, flying to London, and then to Iceland. You live you learn! This is us boarding the early morning plane in Belfast.

Hanging out at Heathrow airport, waiting for our flight home.
