We booked a tour through GLOBUS. We are with a group of about 33 people.
A couple from today. We are in Belfast. You get a feel for the past strife and conflict.
This is the Titanic museum which is located where its hull was launched.
The next two are from Belfast city hall. They have very nice city halls, nothing like in the US.
Last but not least my wife waiting for a lunch of Irish Stew at a pub She would be embarrassed if she knew I posted her picture.

A couple more. The king or queens official residence when visiting Northern Ireland. A lot of artwork inside we couldn’t photograph.
The last is an old castle in Carlingford, back in the Republic of Ireland. The boat in the foreground is on mud at low tide.

Great photos, but in the first pub picture, what's with the Heineken sign? It should be Guinness.

We tour the Guinness brewery tonight and have dinner there. I’ll ask them how they allow Heineken signs and beer here. I’ve heard the Guinness is better here and I think it is. Their accent is great and it’s funny I heard someone say Americans accent is great to the Irish people.
We did a tour of Dublin today. The first couple of pictures are St. Patrick’s cathedral. The last are the bay at Dublin that our hotel is close to.

I'm not sure Guinness travels well. I don't care for it here in the US but I really liked it in Ireland. Maybe it's just the atmosphere. I've had the same experience with Italian wine. Even the cheapest wine is great when you are in Italy.

How you enjoying their food? We weren't thrilled, especially breakfast.

I would say the food is good but not necessarily anything that special. I think the breakfast is good but about like you get in the US. I’d say the pub food has been the best.
We saw the Guinness brewery tonight and had a meal there. They don’t make beer there anymore but some place outside of Dublin. It’s a very popular place. I’ve always liked Guinness but I can’t say it my favorite.
