Dublin to Belfast, Ireland 6-8-09

Again we missed a lot of the scenery on the train trip between Dublin and Belfast because of the interesting people we met on the train. The photo above and the following three of the Irish Sea and countryside were representative of what we did manage to see.



As we walked through the Belfast Central Train Station, we saw ads on the carpet. What a good idea.

This is a side street near our hotel in Belfast. We are staying in a Holiday Inn Express near Queen's University in South Belfast. There is no way this hotel is anywhere near the any of the Marriotts that we have stayed in. We walked about five blocks to a street full of ethnic restaurants and shops that seem to serve the local college students. We felt like we were in the Hollywood District of Portland, Oregon.
