Front of the oldest Pub In Belfast
| Pinch Pinch Bam. Next morning arranged a black cab tour, which was highly recommended to us. Taxi driver 'Norman' took us on a hour long tour of the city. Covered mainly in West Belfast where a lot of the strife used to be. Showed us the walls and borders between the 2 parties. A lot of murals also to show the story etc. from both sides, really really interesting. Belfast is really growing now and losing the name it has had for all those nasty things. After that dropped off in the CBD and wandered around, permitted Kylie to buy one garment under close supervision. Is a really nice city to walk around, had a good feel to it. Had lunch in the oldest pub in town. They have 'snugs' weher you sit in and close the door behind you, a buzzer to ring the waitress. Had to have the old bangers and mash equivelent they have here, nice. Walked back to B&B via Botanical Garden and decided to drive to giants causeway via the rope swing attraction to. Drive was nice a relatively quick, seemed not to be getting annoyed by tourists, pesky bastards. After these went to LondonDerry to find accomodation. Another one where you could walk into town. Not much choice for food so went the Chinese option which went ok. |
