Ireland & England

On our way to Belfast we stopped at a nice little town call Warrenpoint and had lunch at the Whistledown Hotel. Continuing up the coast we saw whales and pulled over to have a proper look. They were quite far out but lucky to see. On arrival in Belfast we stayed at the Travel Lodge. The next day we did a Black Cab tour, the drivers of these taxi's where the original drivers who put their lives at risk every day during the "Troubles" trying to provide a transport service in their black cabs to the people of the famous Falls Road and Shankill Road. We got to see and gain insight to the famous murals and epic peacewalls around Belfast. We also got to see the headquarters of Sein Fein. After the tour we walked around the city with lots of old historic buildings to see. We also went to the Titanic museum and shipyards where I bought part of my sister Carol's Christmas present. Carol is a massive fan of anything to do with the Titanic so it was the perfect opportunity to purchase something unique.
