Harbour House Inn Newcastle

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.

It was an odd experience in some ways, I would driving past housing areas that look like they've seen better ...

Met my group I am working with this week and within 5 minutes they all knew where I was from and where I was staying and my inside leg measurement (just kidding on that last one :) )

Our B&B was on the otherside of the dam, literally smack back in the mountains - the view from our window was unbelievably good. And there was free chocolates on arrival! We asked the owner about places to go for dinner, and she came back a few minutes later having made a reservation ...

... lot there) We then headed to Sheffield to spend the night with my friend Cathrine. The frustrating thing is that we brought a map but it only has country roads, so we can get into a place but once we're there, we're on our own. So we got into Sheffield at about 3 and she didn't finish work until 4 so we parked up at the train station and had a look. Its a really nice town and rather big with a student base.

Anyway, it basically came to a head on Tuesday, when I noticed that someone had used our Skype to make a couple of phone calls to a Turkish mobile.

Tomorrow we set off on our Hadrian's Wall expedition, which I'm really looking forward to (fingers crossed for at least reasonable weather). We'll have photos up here as soon as possible (no USB connection on this computer, so you'll all have to wait just a little bit longer). Tune in again soon, A & A.
