Why isn't Whales on the tourist maps
... first impression...kind drab....... probably cause docks are in the industrial area. Either way started to think that I should over night there as Belfast isn't too far away and I could make it tomorrow....had planned to get there today..but ah well.... needed gas o hall first.
