*Chasing Rainbowzzz*: Belfast & Ballintoy

It's a super late post =p

5 months ago, Nelson and I went to tour around Ireland. We rented a car and decided to travel on our own =) By saying travel on our own, we read the map and drove all the way to our destinations. Ok, not we, man does all the direction. I have no sense of direction at all, I can't even tell where is north, south, east, west! All I did was question, question and question.

Why aren't we reached yet?
How long does it takes?
Are you sure you're in the right direction?

When Nelson asked me to check on the map. I told him " I have no clue at all!"

When he asked me to drive instead cos I can't read map. I told him " Oh, I do not know how to drive a manual car."

Alright, it might sounds I'm useless. However, I'm a good companion. You should be glad honey! Hahaha!

It's our first day of travelling, so we just laid back and had our own sweet time. The main thing was to get to our destination, Belfast. After collecting the car, we kicked off our journey.

It took about 2hours to reached Belfast. Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland. In case you don't know, Northern Ireland is part of United Kingdom. Therefore, sterling pound is the currency being used. Republic of Ireland is using euro.

We had lunch and strolled around the city centre. With Lonely Planet as our tour guide, we visited some of the tourist spots in Belfast. It's a good travel guide. Absoblutely useful!!! We snapped some photo at this Belfast city hall.

I didn't know Titanic was made in Belfast.

Queen's University. I didn't know tuition fees can be won? I thought tuition or course fees are usually given out in the form of scholarship?

Some casual photo of around the city and The Albert Memorial Clock from Queen's Square. It's just a small city =)

We then headed to our hostel at Ballintoy.

We passed by this gorgeous seaside - Ballycastle. I couldnt help myself but stopped by to snap a picture :p

Maybe it is not obvious from the photo, but the scenery is really breathtaking. With the cliffs and sea as backdrop. GORGEOUS!

Alright, no more wasting time. We reached the hostel - The Sheep Island View Hostel. It cost £18 a night for two. It considers cheap. Why wasting money to stay in hotel when you are not in the room the whole time, right? It's my first time staying at hostel. Oh, you can cook at the hostel. All the kitchen utensil, microwave and refrigerator are provided. I saw some tourists brought their own food and cooked their own dinner. There is this big pantry area where you can have ur meals and meet people from all over the world. We met a Poland man and had some chat too. But Nelson and I had no idea what was he talking about. He can't speak fluent English. At times, he even spoke Polish to us because he does not know how to confess it in English. It was disaster if you can't communicate with people. I'm not saying his bad english but the situation.

This is the view in front of the hostel. So relax. The view is just breathtaking. As if you see it from poster! Some sheeps is eating grass. Cute! White fur but with black face.
