    My ancestors settled in Northern Ireland after leaving Scotland. I love studying the history. I will visit at some point. Glad to know you can enjoy your visit without drinking alcohol. I appreciate the lengths you go to cover the variety of key interests. Although I did not watch Game of Thrones, I am (according to Kindle) 93% finished with the book of over 6000 pages. Love the books but not sure I would do the tour. Glad you did it so I don' have to risk being classified as "one of those tourist." Another informative adventure. Thanks Kristin.

    If you were looking for a place steeped in history with fabulous , reasonably priced hotels, pubs and restaurants with the most welcoming people then a trip to the north western city of Derry/Londonderry should be on your itinerary, the intact city walls provide a great view of the historical city and a tour around Inishowen provides a photographer’s paradise with some of the most beautiful landscapes and beaches in the whole of Ireland.
    The 90 minute train journey from Belfast to Derry is a great, relaxing and affordable way to see the north coast and beautiful countryside.

    Really great video and brings back memories of visiting Northern Ireland back in 2019. It was a short visit for me, and like you I didn't see the Titanic Museum. The black cab tour of the Troubles was excellent. I didn't take the GOT tour, but did get to Giant's Causeway and hiked around that whole area. Excellent. From there it was County Donegal and Slieve League which was simply spectacular. Highly recommend. You don't drink alcohol anymore?? Really?

    Lovely to see Belfast, the one time I had a chance to cross over to Northern Ireland, I had to unexpectedly cancel my trip, I particularly wanted to see the Giant's Causeway. Shame the National Trust is charging an arm and a leg just to walk into their gift shop though. Must be a new thing.

    • @TravelingwithKristin
      @TravelingwithKristin  9 місяців тому +1

    Traditional irish music in northern Ireland is seen as belonging to catholics,not that they aren't protestants involved and in fact its part of their history,but sadly due to the troubles its become linked to the Nationalist catholic community.Don't think its as hard and fast as it used be but i think its still there.

It wasn't a bad part of Belfast but the walk back after a night in the middle of town was a pain! Especially if you're utterly wasted!

    Ok... I type the following with great respect...
    "Northern Ireland" is incorrect and disrespectful to the Irish people.
    The North of Ireland is the correct way, in absolutely every single way, to refer to the part of Ireland that you are speaking about.
    "Northern Ireland" recognises and legitimises the British divide created between brothers, this two word phrase draws a border between kin.
    DO NOT refer to that part of Ireland the way that you are, do not legitimise the external divide that is so evil and destructive to the awesome awesome awesome Irish.

    • @robertneely9422
      @robertneely9422 Місяць тому +1

      If you actually lived here you wouldn't have such outdated sensitivities. I was born and live in Northern Ireland as that is the correct designation. I have an Irish passport and being resident in County Down, am consequently resident in the northern part of the island of Ireland or "The North" as a convenient shorthand. For greater precision I live in one of the six counties of the nine county historical province of Ulster. Living in the Six Counties, I am aware of the variant usage of the term Ulster to mean the Six for some and the Nine for others. When your outmoded stance fades away we will happily have our 32 County entity and a departure from the divisive rhetoric you want to preserve.
