Ramada Encore Belfast

... seen any men with guns, we said no and he said how do you know and pulled down the car's sun visor to show us his gun! (he also called the pope a nazi so he was a bit strange) but there's obviously still alot of tension there, our next stop was on the side of a road between two long 10m(ish) high walls that run right through the city and out into the mountains - the peace wall to keep the protestant and catholic neighbourhoods seperated. there was a sculpture set into the wall with ...

... 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.

... company signed a 9000 year lease when they first commenced brewing all those years ago, so i guess they have a bit of time to worry about rent increases! The storehouse itself is magnificent - the museum, complete with interactive displays weaves up 6 levels, culminating at the Gravity Bar, completely encircled with glass, complete with a complimentary Guiness for everyone.

At the bus station there was a red bull machine, great, mixer for the vodka ride there.......

I would like to start this off by declaring my complete and undivided love for Kings of Leon. I acutally love the *******s. Look how ****ing cool they are. There's always been a tough fistfight to the top of my musical podium between them, Cold War Kids and Yves Klein Blue, but I've decided they take gold. For the minute anyway.. They're actually ****ing brilliant. And anyone who tries to defy my thoughts can ...

... to drive through second time around, but the one thing I will always remember about my first visit here was the cab driver explaining that much of the violence these days is less about religious or political ideals directly, and more about gangs fighting turf wars over drugs and other organised crime rackets. <br><br>After bearing south down the main motorway and within line of sight of a couple of hill-top observations posts, we left Northern Ireland behind and were ...
