The following day we headed off to the east of Newtownards with the aim of driving down the coast and getting the ferry across the Lough at Portaferry and Strangford.
I was amazed the the caravan parks along the side of the sea and that people would even want to spend anytime there at all! They are everywhere and there is nothing to do there, it's just awfully boring! Oh well, when you don't know any better I suppose it is nice :-).
When we got to Portaferry we went to the Exploris aquarium, which had some displays of fish from the local area as well as some from other places.
On the way back to Newtownards we came across an Orange march! You can't really see, but they do have orange sashes.
In between Belfast and Newtownards lies the Northen Ireland Parliament. Takes a while to walk all the way to the top!
