Heading North

So myself and himself just returned from an overnight stay in Belfast. We arrived yesterday at about 3.30 and checked into our hotel.


We were staying in the Hilton (5 star hotel - oh yes!). Turns out all touristy things i.e. sites attractions and tours close at 4pm. So we got to do nothing. We originally booked the trip to visit the new Titanic exhibit that has opened in Belfast but after booking the non refundable hotel, i discovered the exhibit was booked up until Monday. Well done me for planning in advance. I never realised it was the 100 year anniversary of the Titanic this weekend. Ah well.  I did find a Disney store which of course brightened my day and adopted Sulley who will be accompanying me on my adventures.

We had dinner in the hotel and availed of the 2 free cocktails that came with the room deal.


Today (15th) we went to the rope bridge and the Giants Causeway. Oh lordy was the rope bridge scary. It was wobbly and shaky and high up. I'll post a picture :-)

**update here's a pic**




The giants causeway was quite beautiful. We got the perfect day weather wise for it. Both attractions involved a lot of waling up hill and steps to get to which i wasn't aware of. It was well worth the walking and it helped burn of the dessert i shouldn't have had in  the hotel!!


After all the complicated walking up hill and over rocks and down small steep narrow steps... I twisted my ankle when we got back to the flat part on the way to the car park. Typical! So now I'm a hop along which is always fun!!


Anywho back to reality and work tomorrow, will post pictures as soon as they come through on my email.


Toodles....
