3D2N Belfast Trip

Finally, something interesting to blog about! I visited Belfast with Ivon and Dadit! The weather was average, cause it rained occasionally. Basically, the city itself was very boring - not much to see! We wondered around the city a few times. Even though it was the city that Titantic was built - the dock itself has not much to offer! :D We visited the City Hall, the waterfront hall .... well... nothing much to see :P It was so bored that me and Dadit decided to take any bus from city centre to go outskirt of Belfast. We ended up in Mossley Hill ...... a very small lake with some houses/shop around! Our hostel for the 1st day was quite average - there will be pipe-hammering sound when people on the 2nd floor shower. Very irritating. Thank God it's only for a day, then we moved to YHA Belfast International Youth Hostel, which was much better condition and cheaper!

Haha .. so many complains! Nevertheless, this trip we met a HK backpacker, Sandy! She's very brave to travel alone in European countries. We met her on the 2nd day while on the day trip to Giant Causeway. She was sitting alone on the bus, so I braced myself to approach her. Chatted with her for the whole trip - she even stayed in the same hostel as well. So we all become good friends these few days - going to places, having meal and 'chor-ti' together!

On the last day - we took a Titanic river tour (about 1 hour ride), a black cab tour - a visit to the infamous Irish war between Catholic and Protestant and lastly, Belfast Castle!

For the whole trip, I spent about £170 .. which is not too bad! I'm going to Prague next week, 1 Aug till 8 Aug! I reckon I will only spent about £200-£250 for the duration of 8 days! It's so much cheaper to travel in Easter European countries :D Till then, i'll blog when there's sth interesting :D

St Anne Cathedral - the cross was huge and magnificent
I forgot what wall is this, but very impressive work of art!
