Sunday leaving Belfast…
Well having spent two days in Belfast is is definitely not what you might expect from its recent history. Yes the murals and Loyalist / Republican flags are still flying in many of the working class residential areas but the people are so friendly with a sharp sense of humour…there are many new plush hotels, the night life is vibrant with live, music and “spontaneous” dancing…jigging….in the pubs!!. Perhaps uniquely for many cities you can see green hills and even cows from the city centre!
It is now 10.45am and I just reached the Antrim coast (the photo is just north of Larne) – a beautiful coastal drive up to the Giant’s Causeway before heading inland again to Londonderry.
