Next stop was Belfast where we are staying for two nights. After checking in and having a bit of a rest we headed out for a Black Cab which took us around the Catholic and Protestant areas and showed us the different murals and the Peace Wall. We saw the security gates that today still close at night . We learnt about "The Troubles" that have been in Northern Island.

Bombay Street in the Catholic Area- Falls Road where the Protestants burnt down houses in the Catholic area.
The Catholic Church where one of the Priests held behind the scenes talks with parties from both sides trying to assist a peace deal.
