Malone Lodge Hotel And Apartments Belfast

... competition from the night before... alana won cause of her elaborate face painting and got a 1L bottle of northern irish whisky! we stopped at an old monastic settlement on the way back but we were happy to get back on the bus cause it was freezing! got back to dublin around 5:30 and said good bye to everyone after exchanging emails (so i know have free accommodation almost anywhere in australia!) i had so much fun that i booked a tour with the same company in scotland for next year!<br>

... 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>

... lived there. Although some people passed along it going about their business it felt like a dead zone (don't worry mom, we were very safe!). I am really glad we did the walk. <br><br>Then for something completely different we did a tour of the City Hall. Believe it or not it is a hot ticket that you have to sign up for as it just opened up after renovations and if you only get there 15 mins before a tour time you have to wait and sign up for the next tour!! It was free and ...

... 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 ...

... like I have somehow cheated and not gotten the real experience since it hasn't been raining the entire time. But I am not opposed to the sunshine - not one bit!<br>After that, we continued up to the Giant's Causeway - volcanic balast columns jutting out of the sea on the Northern coastline. They were so much more impressive and expansive than I expected them to be. Some were super tall and others were just like stepping stones, but all perfectly hexigonal-shaped columns, like ...

... After the ancient people abandoned the site, it became a horse racing track and had been plowed up for crops. As the sign at the entrance commented, "it's amazing archaeologists had anything to work with at all, given all the uses of the site since it's inception". We drove on to Belfast for a quick tour of the city and then decided on our way to the northern coast to take the coastal route to the east.

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, but I've finally been somewhere new! I went up to Belfast for two days on the start of my holiday and it was really interesting. I stayed in a small hostel that was really nice, and the first day I went on a black taxi tour to see the west side of Belfast, where most of the Troubles took place. We saw Protestant and Catholic murals that had been painted depicting each sides' story of what has happened the past 30 years in ...

... 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.

... UK, and i have landed a free trip to the US of A courtesy of Trek America. I leave on Sunday and get to NYC on Monday after my usual stop in London to blag a night on a sofa from Jodi. Then it the tourist trap for a few days and the trek starts on the 27th across the south via Washington, New Orleans, Tennesse, Mexico, Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, L.A. plus numerous other stops along the way. No idea of how many chances i will get to update but i will do my best Later Andy

arrivée chez mon frère qui partage un appart pendant son son stage de 6 mois. la présence des dispositifs anti-émeute et la séparation des quartiers "orangistes" et "catholiques" nous montrent que le combat n'est pas fini. 2 jours avant d'arriver à Belfast, il y'a eu une bombe qui a explosé et qui a été la dernière, vu le nombre d'innocents tués
