We left derry at about 9am and i think we all enjoyed the 2 hour drive to belfast ira ceas (mostly sleeping!) it was raining heavily but the scenery was so beautiful, it was quite dramatic and i think the weather kinda enhanced it! we got to belfast and had about half an hour of free time before our black cab tour started (most of us headed for coffee shops!) the black cab tour is locals that take you round to all the mural sites in their taxis. it was really good. we went first to the ...

... out<br>catching some waves. Too bad we couldnt post pics yet, but we'll probs<br>post them a few times in between countries if we have time. We're in<br>Belfast<br>now and once again, have found a great B and B...tomorrow we head to<br>Scotland ont he Ferry. For tonight, just an internet cafe and a cup of<br>Starbucks coffee. Home Sweet Home. <br>

... wisdom) thought it was best for us to do the Guiness Factory tour FIRST instead of last thing Saturday afternoon. Those keen for a quick pint agreed, and off we went. <br><br>In a nutshell, the Guiness tour is a must see for anyone in Dublin. The brewery has been going for 250 years, and the Guiness family is responsible for most things in Dublin (including the Guiness book of world records, don't you know!). Guiness is celebrating it's 250th year ...

Took a drive into Belfast this evening as I've never been before and I was curious to see it. I drive round in some trepidation as the is city has quite a violent past that is still quite vivied in my mind. I feel like I'm running some kind of guantlet by being here.<br><br> It was an odd experience in some ways, I would driving past housing areas that look like they've seen better ...

... that we'd heard from the locals was beautiful - Glenariff Forest Park - for a brisk morning walk. We took the Waterfalls Trail, ~4km, of which the first half was steeply downhill towards the river, always a bad sign when you know the trek back up is soon to come! Anyway, it was a classic ...

... isso pode pensar: "Betuca assumiu de vez a pirangagem.", mas nao eh bem isso. Lembremse de duas coisas, primeiro, agora sou um desempregado, nao tenho salario por um tempo. Economizar faz parte da vida de um "voluntario". Segundo, mesmo antes de ser um desempregado, muitos de voces ja me ouviram dizer que eu gostaria de "simplificar minha vida" e de "usar menos coisas". Pensando nessas duas coisas, nao fica dificil de entender a minha idea ...

... all of the stained glass windows were removed and buried under the city wall to protect them from Hitler's bombing raids. Once the war came to an end, it took 22 years to reinstall the windows, which feature the largest collection of medieval glass in Britain. We plan to return tomorrow to visit the crypt, below which lies Roman ruins, and to ascend the 275-step tower. We like our church tours, you know. After ...

Well here i am at the aiport... its cost me £1 to get on the internet and all ive done so far is log on and already im down to 84p!!! shocking. so with very little time i'll give an update. Im all checked in and ready to to board the plane, just waiting to go through to the gate, very excited and regretted large glass of coke. Plan for when i arrive at Amsterdam is initially to ...

... Jo were up to visit this weekend as well and we had a great meal at the black door on Friday night. Taxi home was a bit of a nightmare though having booked it at 12:00 for pickup at 12:30 which eventually showed up at around 01:45!! Last day at work planned for Friday 16th December - its going to be weird not working for around 14 months, but the hectic nature of the next few weeks means that it hasn't really sunk in yet!

... the number that wins them the grand jackpot of possibly tens of Euro. <br><br>When I had returned to the car park with the car, Amber and I were sorely tempted to sound our horn in the middle of a game and then scarper, but I figured that with bingo players&#8217; level of dedication and their penchant for numbers, an angry lynch mob who had memorised the number plate of our car would hunt us down while we were tucking into our food in a diner in the town&#8217;s main street.
