There's always room for a story …
It’s another installment of my throwback travel series! Today, I’m continuing my United Kingdom journey, but this time I am focusing on Northern Ireland — more specifically Belfast.
Last week, I re-shared my England posts, and this week, get ready as I take you back to April 2008, Easter weekend, when I walked the streets of Belfast and went as far north as Giant’s Causeway.
I’d like to go back to Ireland one day and visit Dublin.
I spent four days in Belfast. To kick off my tour of Northern Ireland, I first visited Stormont, the home to the city’s Parliament buildings.
Surrounding the buildings, which were built in the early 1920’s, are beautiful greenery, an array of colourful flowers and the sounds of dogs running and people jogging.
Despite the grandness, historic nature, and chaotic complexities Stormont has represented through time, it is still a magnificent place to find solace – especially on a quiet weekend.
We also had a chance to walk the downtown streets (The Falls Road), and view the murals of peace. Painting depicted political unrest, sports and memorials.
