Belfast

We arrived late avo in Belfast on Tuesday. After a visit to the chemist for anti cold tabs (bloody sick old ladys on the bus coughing their lungs up) we went and found a lovely Irish pub. We had traditional Irish food which was delicious, and of course Mal had his guiness.

We got talking to a friendly annebriated local (8 pints of guiness under his belt and still going). He was a laugh tho and the spunky young bartenders with that gorgeous accent!
We chatted to a guy and his son from Holland too - the son lives in Dublin and plays poker for a living ripping off the asian visitors! Makes around 2000 pounds on a good night.

We caught up with the others off the bus and had a laugh with the locals - the Irish are so friendly and interested in where we are from and where we are going.

Belfast itself feels like a nice city - not as bland and concrete feeling as Scottish cities. The countryside is slightly different too and very pretty.
