Fitzwilliam Hotel Belfast

... and a plaque with the names of the people (army and civilians) who were killed just from that immediate area. the houses along the wall had cages on the back of the houses where the porch would usually go to protect them from anything coming over the wall. next we went to falls road where there were lots of catholic murals. we drove past the ira's family garden but didn't stop because the irish flag was raised which meant members and their families were there and they're not too ...

We hit Giants Causeway and Dunluce Castle today, which is a huge castle<br>that literally fell of the side of the cliff while people were in it<br>waiting for their meal. It was pretty cool to see, then we drove the<br>entire Coastline which was unreal. It was soooo cold and rainy and<br>windier than ever today, yet still there were a million ...

... around the various areas of Belfast and explain artworks, areas, and oh yeah, the big feckin wall that divides the city. Yup that's right, parts of Belfast are divided into areas, Protestant, and Catholic - and when i saw wall, i mean a big 35 foot wall in places with gates that shut each night to keep areas and people divided and in theory safe from each other.<br><br>We got the chance to sign the peace wall, which has been signed by thousands of ...

... the break. A 45 minute break stretched out to 3 hours with the wind and rain making it unbearably cold. Everywhere I went in Belfast I made sure I had a raincoat. I swear i packed it that day. Turns out i didn't. I never bothered to go to a doctor to work out exactly what i had, but the symptoms sounded exactly like acute bronchitis. That stupid move put me in bed for 2 weeks straight. The game did resume, and Ireland fell 3 agonising runs ...

... to Paisley Station from the cutest old man. We asked the man at the taxi stand how much it would be and he said "5 or 6 pounds" so we said "That sounds great!" To which the driver said playfully, "Well not for me!" We grabbed our train after dealing with a snooty ticket agent. What is it about ticket agents? Is it the UK's answer the the American DMV? Anyway, we got on a train to Ayr (prounounced Air if you're curious) and switched to get our train to Stranear. Don't ask me how to ...

... present when you're either thinking ahead to how something will be/feel or looking behind you. I'm done with looking behind me in this entry, but I also said right from the start that I would tell you the thoughts of a solo traveller/myself. I like to keep my word on these things. On that note I'd also like to tell you that the purple penguin biscuit made it all the way round NZ and back home again in one piece! Now it's time for me to go back to life how it was ...

... we took a black cab tour of the city. There are several companies offering these tours. We went through Belfast City Taxi Company (http://www.belfastcitytours.com/). It's a great way to tour the murals and sites of Belfast. Our driver, Brian grew up during the Troubles and was a wealth of information about what it was, and is, like in Belfast. I can't begin to explain the Troubles as they ...

... I&#8217;d long desperately wanted to see it for myself, so it was no disappointment to be visiting Belfast for the second time in less than a year. <br><br>In the centre of the city itself there is no obvious hint to outsiders of the Protestant/Catholic divide, Belfast could be Bristol, Birmingham or any other British city starting with a &#8216;B&#8217; you can think of. But the most famous thing to do in the city to see some of the heartlands of sectarianism is to take a ...

... after quite a long period of time, that there is not a replacement fuse and the maintance man will not be in until 9:00am. Seems Peg did not charge my battery, but melted down the charger and the power to half of our floor. I don't think I will be a favorite person at breakfast tomorrow. Humbly, I ask Mr. Manager for a candle or a flashlight so we can see if we need the bathroom facilities. He can't give us a candle, but does ...
