A trip to Europe! Across a very small stretch of water - a 15 minute ferry ride and into Donegal. Our first stop was at Malin Head - of Shipping Forecast fame and it didn't disappoint! And while most places we have visited seem to have a Game of Thrones link, I had no idea that Malin Head had a Starwars link!

 |
| Towards the headland.... |
 |
| The most northerly point in Ireland. |
 |
| ...and featured in Starwars film 'The Last Jedi'. |
 |
| Superb rocks... |
 |
| Looking back to the arpark and Malin Tower - constructed in 1805 by the Admiralty, it was used as a Lloyds signal station conecting Europe to America. |
 |
| Our picnic spot.. |
....and a few Starwars pics...
