Visit to "Stroke City."

We were on an outing today to Londonderry on the banks of the Foyle. Twenty-two Tuesday Club members and friends set off on a coach at 9 a.m.
Our first stop was at St. Columb's Cathedral - a very old building dating back to 1633. We had a guided tour and audio visual presentation about the cathedral. Then in the Chapter House there is a collection of various artifacts relating to its history.

After a light lunch we browsed around some of the shops and then made our way down to the Peace Bridge. We walked across it and I got some good photos of the structure for you. It is for pedestrians and cyclists only. It joins the Waterside area with the city and was built to help integrate the two communities.

The whole structure is most interesting. It is 312 metres long and cost £14 million to build. There are two places where a seat has been incorporated into the framework so you can sit down and enjoy the view.
The day finished with a lovely dinner at the Belfray Country Inn on the outskirts of the city.
We all enjoyed our day out to the Maiden City - City of Culture for 2013.
