Farewell Kinlough, Hello Belfast

No Pictures as I found it to be an uneventful day, though Daniel disagrees.


The day started off late. Really late. Me and Daniel got to sleep in until about 11, and we were greatful for it. We started off with a great breakfast with Jo and Paul. Jo and Daniel went to look at the rest of the old Whitten house, while me and Paul went to play with the kittens. After that we left for Enniskillen. In Enniskillen we went out with Jo and Paul for coffee, then withdrew some sterling for the next leg of our journey. 

From Enniskillen we caught a bus that took us out to Belfast. Once we arrived in Belfast we made our way out of the station and a scary looking man asked us "Where you headed" quite harshly. Me and Daniel were quite perplexed as he gave us instructions as to how to get to our hostel, but in an entirely harsh voice and accent. A great way to be greeted in Belfast? Maybe.

We made our way north to our small hostel, and were able to find it without too much trouble. We then plotted out some of the sights that Paul told us we absolutely had to see on our map, and then also made a short list of other places we wanted to see. We then went out to a Pub owned by Wetherspoons, which was a great company that had a cheap, standardized menu, and went out and bought local pubs. Unfortunately there was an hour wait for a table, so we decided to have our dinner at a subway close by. Here in Belfast they have 5 pound foot-long combos instead of the $5 foot-longs from Canada.

After we went back to The Bridge House, which was the pub with cheap food, and then we got a drink. I read my book while Daniel wrote. After we decided to go back to our hostel. Personally, uneventful in comparison to our other days so far.

Looking forward to tomorrow and exploring,
