The cheap price might have been the misleading factor here&#8230;<br \/>\nSo instead of replenishing their water supply, they dehydrated even more and therefore were in a coma-like state early in the morning.<br \/>\nTo make the confusion perfect, after the &#8222;staff&#8220; turned up to collect the keys from the guests leaving, they startled everybody by asking: &#8222;Are these guys paying customers and why do they sleep in the lobby?&#8220;<br \/>\nAfter a quick &#8222;Tesco&#8217;s finest&#8220; breakfast I was happy to still have some time to walk back through the whole city before leaving.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/roflmfao.de\/blogcontent\/beitrag16\/001_leaving2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nOn a Sunday morning the whole city seemed to be a ghost town. All streets were empty and I met just one person on my way to the train station.<br \/>\nInstead of going back to Belfast directly, I&#8217;ve planned a stop in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Antrim,_County_Antrim\">Antrim<\/a> in order to visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lough_Neagh\">Lough Neagh<\/a> lake. On my way there, again I had the opportunity to have an interesting conversation with the wife of a local politician from Derry, which allowed me to gain an even deeper insight into the social and political situation in Northern Ireland.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/roflmfao.de\/blogcontent\/beitrag16\/002_view.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nAntrim is a very nice place for a walk and apparently golf and water sports, but after arriving at the big lake there and seeing that the &#8222;Shane&#8217;s Castle Park&#8220;(on the right in the background of the above picture) was closed&#8230;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/roflmfao.de\/blogcontent\/beitrag16\/003_woods.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230; I decided to take a walk through the woods nearby which was a very relaxing way of spending an very sunny day(at this point its really worth pointing out that we&#8217;ve been very lucky with the weather so far, especially on weekends).<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/roflmfao.de\/blogcontent\/beitrag16\/004_antrim.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nOn my way back I realized that after being in Derry, Antrim wouldn&#8217;t have much to offer worth staying there any longer. Having collected a lot of good memories and stories to share I headed to the train station towards &#8222;home&#8220;.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/roflmfao.de\/blogcontent\/beitrag16\/005_home.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Or should I say, &#8222;the firewalled city&#8220; ???
