Belfast, Botanic Garden, Black Taxi Tour

Here are some random pictures around our hotel, pictures from the Botanic Garden, and pictures from our Black Taxi Tour of Belfast.

The view from our hotel room window (of the garbage cans)! The view up the street from our hotel. The view in the OTHER direction from our hotel. Botanic Garden gate. Maxx & Keeghan at the Botanic Garden. Queen's University The outdoor eating area at our hotel - the Sitootery (great name!) The front of our hotel. Our hire car! Our taxi tour has arrived! This was one of my favorite murals in Belfast! Mural of Bobby Sands. Memorial Garden Peace Wall, cages on the backs of houses to protect them from attack. Belfast Police Department Looks like a prison, doesn't it? Why does the police department need to be so heavily walled? "Broken Irish is better than clever English." "Speak whatever Irish you have." Memorial commemorating those lost in the hunger strike. Mural commemorating those lost to plastic bullets. Keeghan, Jim, and Maxx
