Visited Belfast with the entire Stevenage gang last wkend.
Belfast's even more overcast & rainy than UK mainland.. it made me suddenly grateful for Tonbridge's weather!
certain parts of Belfast reminded me of New Zealand.. endless stretches of farmland.. hairy cows & sheep!
pretty scenic fishing port..
lovely cliffs along the coast..
clear blue water
the famous carrick-a-rede bridge! (it was previously built & used by fishermen to trap and harvest salmons!)
we went on the Giant's Causeway tour.. it's lovely! the uniquely shaped nature landforms are all named after the Giant's something.. cause they're reli huge..
the Camel..
The Giant's Boot
The Giant's Organ Pipes
Basalt Stepping Stones
On the second day, we took the Black cab tour.. it brought us on a "history cultural tour" ard West Belfast.
There's still tension between the Protestants & Catholics in Belfast today.. riots often break out.. this is the Shankill street (Protestant quarter).. the murals are all drawn free-hand..
the reli reli long wall that separates the Protestant quarter & the Catholic quarter.. (the fence goes up to approx 4-5m high!)
leaving a msg on the wall..
it was Singapore's National day yest so... here's our msg.. =)
and over on the Catholic side (Bombay Street).. it's more peaceful..
the murals promoting justice.
our lil black cab!!
here's all of us.
and how can any trip be complete without the food!!
Irish Stew
we ate at the oldest & most traditional pub.. The Crown Saloon Bar
the wood in the interior's all taken from Titanic's sister ship (which was never completed after Titanic sank). and the seats that we were sitting on were all seats from the first class cabin!
Hunter's Chicken - soft, cheesy & succulent!! =)
Raspberry Cheesecake
Sticky Toffee Pudding
Banoffee Pie
Seafood Clam Chowder & Irish Wheaten Bread! - easily the yummiest bread ever.
yup! that sums up the Belfast trip. =)
~gone in a moment..
