Here under NIT - day 5, you will find travel information for that day, with practical information including the opening hours and addresses of the different attractions.
Have a walk in Portaferry, a small town on the North East coast of Ireland, at the tip of the Ards Peninsula, and visit its 16th century castle. The ruins of Portaferry Castle loom above the town. There are fine Georgian buildings in the town square, including a Market house, now used as a community centre.
Near the center of the town is Exploris, Ulster's impressive new Irish Sea marine life centre and aquarium. The aquarium features tanks, audio visual and interactive displays. While the aquarium has been involved in the rehabilitation of seals since 1989, the new purpose built Seal Sanctuary opened in 2000.

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page", St. Augustine said. Here at www.travel-university.org we believe that every page must be read and explored. Travel is an avenue of learning that no text or classroom can teach. The world is a living classroom and you the student. We invite you to the www.travel-university.org library where you can read general interest and detail oriented articles.
