After a pretty random yet amazing first day and night in Ireland, Jason and I headed north to Belfast. Watching Jason drive on the left hand side of the road whilst driving a right hand drive car was, to say the least, entertaining. (a frustrated Guenther is a funny Guenther). We reached Belfast, found our hostel (which had a very helpful owner. Also, Ireland has the most insane parking jobs that we have ever seen), dropped our packs and headed to the city center. After a couple of pints of Guinness in The Crown Bar, picture talking of some Castles that was turned into a shopping center, we headed listening to Fibber Magees and listened to live Irish music (sooo goood). The next day we took a tour called 'The Black Taxi' tour which took us around Belfast, aboard a black taxi, where the driver took us to some sights of great Irish history (mosly about the tention between the Catholics and Protestants). Its a very short summation of our time in Belfast.
For the next couple of days I will let the pictures we took tell you the stories my 'second language' cant translate.
these would have to suffice.
till next time.
peace
Was the taxi driver also black?
