Belfast and Northern Ireland

The country of Ireland is only about the size of Indiana but even still it's hard to believe we toured the entire thing in 2 weeks. Northern Ireland, which is a separate country, is actually part of the UK. It has many similarities but many differences as well. Derry was more of a war town and had a lot of history. Whereas Belfast was very modern. There were great shops and restaurants. We ate at this really cool place called Alley cat. It was dimly lit and had hot neon paintings all over the walls. The tables and chairs were all eclectic. It had a great feel and great food. We also went to the Titanic exhibit. Belfast is the port were the titanic was built and launched from. Needless to say, there was a lot of amazing history and some of the props and costumes from the movie. We also got to see Dunluce Castle and Giants Causeway, which has these huge nature made boulders. It's pretty incredible! We did so much walking my heel is bruised. I was so tired when I got up this morning, I put my shirt on inside out. The worst part is, I didn't notice until half way though the day. Haha, the glamorous life of a traveler!
