Travel To Northern Ireland.
A trip to the north of the emerald isle is now more hassle free than ever before. With easy access through plenty of regional airports and great roads that link city to city, Northern Ireland would make for a great summer destination.
Rural Ireland is a real treat - especially north of the border. The following will help you plan for that special vacation
For the outdoors type Northern Ireland has a lot to offer. Its northern coastline is one of the most magnificent highlights in Europe, and its landscape is as splendid and rugged as the rest of Ireland. Northern Ireland consists of fabulous fishing lakes and has an array of offshore activities.
The following is a list of places worth seeing.
Giants Causeway: The Causeway is an extraordinary volcanic area of the Northern Ireland coastline that should be on top of your list of places to see. Formed by volcanic explosions millions of years ago the area boasts stunning looming grey cliffs and magical rock formations.
Lough Erne: The area around Lough Erne boasts a rich quantity of nature along with some great historical sites. Bird watchers and fishermen are some of the few who would benefit from the lake. Wildlife includes: red deer, crested glebes and kingfishers to name a few.
Also worth visiting if you are in the area is the famous Belleek pottery workshop. This is situated west of Lough Erne and is best known for its ornamental pieces, which are sold worldwide. Lough Erne also has many islands with daily ferries from the main land.
The Mountains of Mourne are situated east of the province, overlooking the Irish Sea and provide lovely views of the fishing villages and sandy beaches on the coastline. Over twenty short hikes can be enjoyed in the area with parts of the mountain closed to traffic.
The historic town of Enniskillen is also an ideal place to visit. Attractions within the town include: Enniskillen Castle and Forthill Park. Artists and crafts people can be viewed working in the historic Buttermarket.
Less than an hours drive from Enniskillen, and just outside the town of Omagh is the Ulster American Folk Park. At the centre visitors are taken on a remarkable trip through time with the story of the vast emigration from the province.
Exciting and affordable short city breaks are a great way to take in the city life in Northern Ireland. The largest and most popular city of Belfast has a lot on offer with a range of sites to visit. For partygoers The Entries is the place to visit. The Entries are a series of narrow alleys between Ann Street and High Street and feature some of the best pubs in the city.

Why is my body so hairy?
I'm an 18 year old male, and I've noticed other males my age aren't even near as hairy.. or even have facial or hair on their torso. Some people think it's genetics, some say I'm unhealthy (Even though I do 3 training circuits a week, 3 runs and 1 sport day) so that is completely incorrect.
I wouldn't say I'm ashamed, actually rather proud, I'm just curious. There's only 1 other 18 year old I personally know that has full facial hair, and we've both had full facial hair since the age of 17.
If people could enlighten me, that'd be great.
P.S. If it's genetics, then my paternal side are from Northern Ireland & Scotland and maternal are German. I was born in England.
That's the thing Tony, my half-brother (from my mother) for example, when he was 18 he had no facial hair, he wasn't even nearly as broad as me and he was more-or-less hairless. It's my fathers side that are the hairy ones.

Does anyone know the name of this book?
I read a book years ago when I was little and I'm trying to find out what it's called as I've forgotten.
It's set during WWII in Belfast, Northern Ireland and is about three girls who get a new school teacher who's German. I think they spy on her, thinking she's a German spy or something? My memory's pretty hazy but I'm pretty sure this is the gist of the book?
Anyone know the book I'm talking about?
