Love It / Loathe It : Belfast

I'M DOWN WITH THAT: Things I Love About Belfast
* The joy of being back on a tour bus - feeling nostalgic for Contiki, Lorna & I were like pigs in muck when we boarded a bus again!
* The mural tour - so much history, captured in artwork. It was amazing, particularly when you think of all the struggles this country has had. The mural with the shooter who's gun seemed to follow you, was especially spooky.
* The "snugs" at the Crown Saloon - it was like having your own private room at the bar! Its so odd to eat a meal, hear other people, but yet not see them!
* Giant's Causeway - Lorna & I crawled all over the rocks like a couple of kids. I just didn't expect it to be so HUGE! (um.. hence the "giant's" bit I guess! :p)
THINGS I LEARNT:
* The closing of the gates between the two parts of town - it can be quite scary when they do that. Makes everything you've heard seem like a reality.
* Lorna & I are a pair of old ladies - we enjoy our tea & scones with the best of them!
