Reunion in Belfast...

Phill and I in front of Belfast City Hall

Phill and Mike

Remember Phill from my easyrider and melbourne blogs?well he was in Belfast with his friend Mike for a wedding a couple of weeks ago and i was able to spend the sunday with them both.it was great to catch up with him again and reminisce about our time in australia.poor mike though,he had to endure all our tales!with nothing much open on a sunday in belfast we ended up doing a tour around belfast on a big yellow bus!it was interesting for me too as we were taken places that i had never been before.for example,'the falls' which is the area that's in opposition to 'the shankill',the falls is a catholic area and the shankill a protestant area,these 2 places were where most of the troubles in belfast occurred and people were killed on a daily basis in certain places.thank goodness it's not like that anymore!!also,interesting fact of the day was that apparently a man from Northern Ireland actually invented air con - how ironic considering what our climate is like!

phill and mike seemed to enjoy their weekend in belfast and hopefully i'll be able to reunite with more pals from oz someday soon!
