Today we had an
extraordinary experience spending a whole day in Belfast.
Luckily, both Adrian and
Michael, our tour guides, were really enthusiastic about showing us
as many places of interest as they could.
During our journey to
Belfast they summarized in nutshell the troublesome centuries as well
as the latest decades of Northern Island so as to be able to get a
better undersanding of their history.
During a short tour in the
city centre we stopped at Ulster Museum to explore the botanic
gardens around and some of the exhibitions inside like historic
remainings and pieces of contemporary applied arts.

Then we forwarded towards
the western part of the city where we were impressed by the murals
and the peace messages on the wall that separates the two
communities.

Titanic Museum was our
next stop with its fascinating interactive exhibitions from
introducing the shipyard through designing, launching, showing the
passangers's quarters... Meanwhile we could virtually experience the
luxury of the hugest- and safest-ever-built passenger ship, which had
been thought to be unsinkable.

It goes without saying how
the significance of Her tragic accident has captured thousands of
people's imagination all over he world.
