belfast: here we come!

Today we left the hostel at 9 :15 to walk to the city center to take the double-decker bus in which the driver explained historical facts on our way to the Titanic museum. We saw how the Titanic was built piece by piece, how it sank after hitting an iceberg. We had our pack lunches outside the museum in the sunshine. I saw Mme Rocquet with a birthday cake and then the whole group started singing « Happy birthday ». I was very happy because I hadn’t thought about celebrating my 18th birthday without my family and it turned out nicely. We walked to see the Loyalist murals but they’re being replaced by more peaceful ones. Back in the city center, we hopped on the bus again, all the way to Crumlin Road Gaol which hosted more than 1,500 prisoners during the Troubles. After free time, we watched Minions at the cinema and had dinner at the Burger King. Hopefully Loup Garou again tonight…
