dear family & friends,
Sorry we missed a couple of days on posting but we have been so busy. We left Dublin on Friday & we had some interesting roommates our last night in Paddy's Palace. One guy was a native to Ireland and his name was Paddy, he told us funny stories and we stayed up talking to him & laughing a lot. Our other roomie for the night was from Greece, Alexandros, he biked all the way from North IRL to South IRL in 4 days. He is now our contact when we reach Athens!
We took a bus to Belfast (North IRL) and got to our hostel at 10 am. It was very quaint almost like a little home. We were greeted with coffee & cookies! From there we headed to Belfast Castle (see pic). It was a beautiful castle & while we toured it there was a wedding going on.
After the castle we decided to visit the home that C.S. Lewis grew up in, Little-Lea! Although it was private property we got a close personal look of the inspiration he got to write the Narnia series. We even saw the lamp post (Mr.Tumnis) that was in his front yard!
We were pretty exhausted from all the traveling so we took a quik nap (3hours) and were luckily woken up with our new roommates, a French couple who pretended to speak english but actually knew none at all.
We were starving and looked for a restuaruant for a while & had no luck, we almost gave up & went to a pizza hut. Then we stumble upon this awesome place that was super cheap & was pretty much the best food ever! After our great dinner we weren't tired so we saw a movie & talked to some locals while we waited in the long ticket line.
Overall Belfast rocked. We left Arnie's Backpackers Hostel at 5:30 am this morning to take a ferry to Scotland!
We love you
Ben&Molly
