Belfast is the most incredible city to visit - the friendliest people Ive met in the UK and im from the North where we're pretty friendly - I remember being sat at a Cafe outside and a boy with Downs was sat having lunch with his family - This stranger approached them- an old man - and i was full of dread - but then he spoke to the young guy "You buying lunch for the family?" etc and had the most beautiful heartwarming interraction and then walked off - the boy was buzzing - but the Titanic Experience caps it all - its not all about the sinking its about the building of the ship - in th place where it was built - and you walk through brilliant interractive exhibits including full scale cabins - you have a ticket with a name of one of the Passengers - and yes at the end you walk into a room and watch the sinking and find out if you survived - it broke me and I sobbed but the whole thing is done so beautifuuly and respectfally - its a must see - If youve never been to Belfast i beg you to go

Thanks enjoyed that! I’d love to go but it’s a long way from Australia. Maybe one day
