Some more pretty peektures
Hello all
The last couple of days have been pretty great. Went to Belfast yesterday and did the black taxi tour, it was sad to see the way people live in some places and strange to think that there's still conflict happening (though not as bad as it was of course). But there's still the segregation and bitterness, very sad, interesting though. Belfast itself is quite nice because it's surrounded by mountains, I'd say I liked it more than Dublin but I do like Temple Bar here and Belfast is quite a new city (100 years) so none of the buildings have the charm of some here.
Belfast city
A few of the murels painting around just outside of the city
Thought a few of you would appreciate this one *snicker*
A couple of Dublin
The Ha'Penny Bridge
The Temple Bar at....Temple Bar!
On the way to Belfast yesterday. Ooooh celtic
Today I was going to go to Blarney Castle but changed my mind (as the coaches head the same way) at the (very cute) drivers suggestion and I'm glad I did because it was amazing. I went to the Cliffs of Moher, such a good day. Pictures can't quite do it justice, but I've tried.
On the way to Limerick and the cliffs this morning
Just a few :) Home time in about five days!!!
