Lady in Belfast

My last trip to Belfast was six years ago. I arrived on a train from Dublin, ran through the rain to a cafe, met a friend, then returned to the Republic of Ireland. An hour in total, it wasn’t much of a visit. When I had the opportunity to travel to Belfast again last weekend, I looked forward to getting a proper introduction to the city and a special tour of Belfast’s Titanic sites.

Lady in Northern Ireland

This is the 500th post on A Lady in London. The previous 499 have covered travel destinations all over the world, and, closer to home, locations throughout the UK. I have written numerous posts about my exploits in England, several about my sojourns in Scotland, and a couple about my weekends in Wales. But in the four-and-a-half years I have been living in London, there is one UK destination that I have not covered in this travel blog: Northern Ireland.
