Day 7- Part 2 Tall Ships

After the Black Taxi Tour we were off to the Harbor Festival to see the Tall Ships. Belfast was the last stop on the race and I had high hopes for the festival especially after being so bummed from the mornings downer tour.

BUT the festival was just like ones you would find in the states (Enfield natives, think Mt. Carmel):

Bad Food (P.S. they love their gummies in the UK)

Cheesy Rides

BUT there were Tall Ships:


After walking around the festival for a bit and exploring the downtown area further we retreated to West Belfast to take a nap. Later that night we stopped in a local pub so Kris could enjoy a Guinness. The pub had something that I never had seen before, snugs. They were bar booths with a door that could be shut for privacy. Since we were in the heart of the former IRA, we could only imagine the conversations that took place in the very snug we sat at.

Tomorrow it is off to our final destination, Dublin.
