A Bit of Belfast

2024, International, Northern Ireland

Shall we say, we didn’t do a great job of thinking this one through? On our last visit to Belfast earlier this month we took a bus tour through the city and to the Titanic Belfast museum. This time we thought we’d take the free shuttle bus from the port into town and then wander the streets of the city on our own. We did manage to visit the St George’s Sunday Market, and do some window shopping in the city centre before walking through the Belfast Spring Continental Market on the city hall grounds but we did all this without a plan, without a map, and without cell service so we spent a fair amount of time feeling lost not to mention feeling overwhelmed by crowds. We need to remind ourselves that it’s great to wander afoot in smaller communities but in cities it’s much better to have a plan as well as at least a map if not gps service.  Sometimes you find the adventure…

OUR VERY

LATEST

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park

It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
