Belfast Day 2

Ok so for once there's going to be more pictures than info. There's honestly not tons of stuff to write about. But I am going to start with a rant, because I am not happy with the events that happened last night, and it makes me hate hostels even more.

So I went to bed around 11, and was sleeping fairly peacefully, when the three guys who ended up being in our room of 10 people come in at 2am drunk with no regard to the fact the rest of us were sleeping. They made no effort to be quiet; they were talking and stomping around. They were so loud I thought it was time to wake up and leave. I was not happy. But then one guy does not stop coughing, like at all. And when he fell asleep he just snored away, and for all of you who know me, know that I can't fall asleep once someone is snoring. So here at 2am (the clocks are about to go back an hour to 1am) with three guys snoring.
I did not get back to sleep. I blasted my Ipod for 2 hours so loud to drown out the sound, but it was so loud it a.) hurt my eyes and b.) everytime I was close to sleep the song would change and startle me. So around 3am I just went downstairs to the lobby and stayed there until 6am, where I then came back, held my ears so I could hear sound and fell asleep for a half hour, where it was then time to wake up and both my hands/half my arms were asleep. I had no feeling in them at all.
So I am very tired, and very crabby. If this happens again tonight I'm sleeping in the hallway. Seriously.

Anyways on to my day. All we did was go to Giant's Causeway, and then take a bus tour of Belfast.

Giant's Causeway

 

 

 

 

Information:

The stories: The Giant's Causeway is steeped in myth and legend. Carved from the coast by the mighty giant, Finn McCool, who left behind an ancient home full of folklore.
Local people here believe that between the hexagons, the mythical features carved out in the rocks and the tumbling sea, there's real magic. You may not always see it straightaway, but come to this place, stand on the stones, uncover the legends, use you imagination and just wait. It won't be long until you feel it.

The Science: It's no surprise this place is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A geological wonder with over 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the Giant's Causeway is the result of intense volcanic and geological activity.
The Causeway provides a glimpse into the Earth's most ancient past. An epic 60 million year- old legacy to the cooling and shrinking of successive lava flows.

More pictures because that's all the info I have on the Giant's Causeway. (They had a visitors center, but I was super tired and it was so many little stories and info. I was more concerned with food. lol) :

After that we took a bus tour of the city. So here's some more pictures of the city:

 I believe this was the old townhouse, court house? I don't remember...

 This is the ship that took passengers to the titanic since the titanic couldn't go in the shallow water to be boarded.

 I know this is some World War I boat.

 

Was an hold prison

 

This is the old courthouse... I think...

 

Group picture in front of the wall of peace used to bring peace between the protestants and Catholics during the troubles. One side is where the protestants live and the other is where all the Catholics live. There are gates that are open during the day to travel between the too but they close at night. They said that there isn't trouble anymore, but who really knows.

 

 

So that was my day... again not much... so this trip is slightly disappointing because I feel like it wasn't worth the 70 euros. Hopefully the titanic museum will make up for it tomorrow.

Anyways I'm off to an early bedtime! You should leave a message and make my day :)
