After our evening at the Harp Bar we dodged the rain \u2614\ufe0f more than once and made it back to the Hymer. Our little car-park had emptied out except for a couple of other motorhomes. So we enjoyed a good night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking out the window in the morning, I see an odd looking motorhome next door. I see it has Chinese number plates of all things. Anyway we meet Jason and his friend Judy and we talk about motorhomes and blogging. They have driven this Chinese built camper across China and Russia into the EU. Has me thinking about next year…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather looks a bit fickle again as we locked-up and cross the Peace Bridge into Derry. Londonderry or Derry take your pick. Every Londonderry sign we see has the first six letters graffitied. We\u2019ll go with Derry as that\u2019s what Pam\u2019s new best friend, said it was last night. The LP recommends walking the old city walls or Derry Bastions, so we find #1 and walk up the steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
