1/4 is done

Hi guys,

1/4 of our time is done, but fortunately we have even 3/4 of our time.

The Titanic-shield in the front of the Titanic museum.

Okay, to the weekend:

On Friday evening, we was in the Botanic Inn, a small pub near the Botanic Garden. There, we could see, how easy it is, with natives to come in a convention, but it was very difficult the drunken natives to understand. The Saturday was for us a shopping day and we was in the city centre of Belfast, incidentally we have witness the festival of fool. Sunday we was at the port of Belfast. We have seen the titanic museum (someday we will go inside), the titanic dok and many other nice things.

Best regards from Belfast

The Weather

Today, the 7 May, is a special day. It’s the Early May Bank Holiday. Northern Ireland has many Bank Holidays like the Spring Bank Holiday or the Summer Bank Holiday. At these days the banks, I think that is the reason for the name, and other businesses are closed. So today is day off and we have the opportunity to use this free day.
But there is a little problem: the weather. OK, Belfast and the whole isle of Ireland is famous for his rainy weather. But the last days we have been lucky because we had only light showers and the sun made sure that it felt not so cold. Here in Ireland you must be ready for changes in the weather. Sometimes it rained very hard and in the next minute the sun comes. And the next days get not be better. Finally we decided to stay at home, because not all businesses have open.

A summary of the last week…

The second week was ended… Last Wednesday, we was went to the cinema and we have watched the new film „The Avengers“, this was funny and a great film with a lot of jokes and gags. So, we have decided to go every Tuesday to the cinema, because it is very cheap to watch a film in 3D on this day of week. Well, here are some pictures, which i took while we went to the cinema…

As ending of the last week, we have decided to go to our favorite pub, because we are looked for a restaurant, but we didn’t find any one which haven’t to book. So, we went to the pub Morning Star and the most of my roommates ate a 24oz steak and i ate only a two 6oz cheesburger. On this week Monday, we want to go to the cinema, because we want to watch the film „Battleship“ and this film ending on this day, but the next day we will be going to the Pavillion Odyssey Centre and watch an other film, too. So, i thing, it will be a good week.

K.O. after cleaning

Hi there,

yesterday we sleept a bit longer because of the day tour the day befor. After I woke up I wanted to make some breakfast but my appetite was gone after I saw the kitchen. So we had to clean our kitchen because that french girl really dont know how to make something clean. I was a little shocked after I saw that she placed a pot with something burned in into the dishwasher. Also the hob was totally dirty so I had clean it. I didn’t watched into the microwave. After the kitchen was done we cleaned our bathroom as well. Normally there would be a cleaning service for our apartments but we never saw one here. We already talked to Margaret about that issue and she spoke to the reception about it on the same day. Yesterday I also wrote an email to Margaret about the missing cleaning service and about some other issues like broken beds and so on. During that chaos of cleaning and collecting issues about the apartment I totally forgot to write my blog entry. So I’m really sorry for letting you wait.

Have a nice bank holiday.

Greetings
Daniela
