Hey everyone! I'm writing from my phone on the hostels wifi, so this'll be a quick and picture-less update. We flew into Belfast last night (it was a 25 minute flight!!) then woke up early and got to bimbling. We are doing daytrips into the surrounding areas tomorrow and Sunday, so today was our only real day for the city itself.
In order, we hit:
The botanic gardens (I think one of my favorite places I've ever been. EVERYTHING was in bloom!)
The ulster museum (brushed up on my Irish history and saw a life sized Irish wolfhound).
Coffee break. Of course. Camila is as into coffee as I am, so it's perfect.
Up to the observatory for a great view of the city.
The clock tower.
Saint annes cathedral (very pretty stained glass)
The titanic quarter along the harbor (very cool up-and-coming area, huge renovations going on).
Dinner at Maggie May's cafe (which is kind of a landmark, had a delicious milk shake).
Even though it's only 9 we're exhausted. Walking for like 8 hours straight will do that. Tomorrow, the paddy wagon! (it's a tour, not actually planning on being arrested...or a stereotype).
Much love,
Erin
