Orthodonty :+(
Had to go to Orthodonty today... (|-(
The orthodontist tightened my braces really hard and they've been really sore for hours!
:EDIT: The pain actually lasted for over a week :-(
Anyway, after that ordeal, we went and had lunch at Decks restaurant, which does lovely bangers and mash. Then we continued on to the Foyleside (as usual!). We were going to try and get on one of the Foyle cruises (boats that go up and down Lough Foyle), but they weren't doing any more sailings today...
Another view from the top of the Foyleside!
Having done the Foyleside, we went into Ireland and took the ferry from Greencastle to Magilligan, because it was a nice day and we fancied the scenic route! It's actually a nicer looking voyage from Greencastle>Magilligan, as you get to see the beautiful landscape of Ireland when you're leaving (if you're going the other way, by the time you get close enough to appreciate it, you have to be in the car ready to go).
That's one hell of an anchor!
Another extremely large anchor!
When I saw this, I thought, "Oh look! It's a boat coming in!" Then I realised it was the ferry. At which point I had to go very fast to the other end of the harbour and just made it!
Leaving Greencastle behind.
Magilligan (and Northern Ireland) ahoy!
After that, we went to an Italian restaurant called Zio. It was fairly crap. Even though it has an excellent position on the coast, it was empty. Probably partially due to the fact that the waitresses aren't exactly charm-school graduates.
There are some excellent views from the balcony, but my camera b*gg*red those as well. *sigh*
Oh well - you'll just have to use your imagination!

Magilligan (and Northern Ireland) ahoy!When we arrived back on Northern Irish soil, we headed for the Bishops Road to get some shots over the Magilligan peninsula. The weather was glorious and the light was brilliant. Unfortunately, my camera seems to have corrupted a tonne of shots from that batch, so I can't show you! :@
On the way to the Bishops Road viewing point, we got a bit lost and made a slightly unintentional detour down a nice country road. On the way down it, we discovered the site of St Aidan's Well. Naturally, this chipmunk took a good look, taking lots of photographs while I was there...but the damn camera ate those too...

If you're camera appears as a removable drive in Explorer, I may be able to help.
Nice pics as ever, hope the brace isn't too bad. ;-)
Thanks!
It's not too bad. The pain's mostly died down by now, but it's still annoying.

Yeah yeah yeah, a bad workman always blames his tools *smirk*
Actually, the camera's file system is quite good - you just use explorer and the memory card appears as an external drive. It's not the fastest ever, but it's good enough.
However, when you try to access the phone memory, it goes proprietry. And veeeeeery slow. I honestly don't know how it got corrupted. Anyway, I think I did pretty well recovering most of them! *smirk*
