Country #41 Northern Ireland which is part of the UK

 

My first view of Belfast was the Titanic Quarter, the shiny new massive waterfront regeneration. We spent much of the drizzly day at W5 the Science & Discovery Center. During lunch, we found a cafe along the docks where I had my first Belfast bap, a big crusty round bread. 

 

I was skeptical about the Titanic Museum but the building is iconic, a true monument. 

 

We stayed in the vibrant Cathedral Quarter with it’s restaurants and street art. And took a walkabout that evening when the sun miraculously broke through the clouds, lively pub music spilling out.

 

The next morning I attempted the meat centric Ulster fry at St George’s Market.

 

Then we made our way to the lovely City Hall. Many of the exhibits in the visitor center focus on The Troubles the political and other related conflicts in the late 20th century. I was fascinated with the layers of Belfast history and realized it had won me over completely.
