Belfast Downtown – May 18, 2019

Exploring on our own for the last afternoon/evening in Belfast, the guide recommended visiting a cathedral called St. Anne’s Cathedral. Church interiors are sometime spectacular photography with the flying buttresses and huge vaulted ceilings with carvings. So it’s always fun to look inside.
Unfortunately, the church was closed so we looked closely at the doorways, with the carvings and words above the doors.


Above the door are the words, “O Grave, Where is thy Victory” How true!
We felt we might die if we did not find a dinner place. We began to walk in earnest looking for a restaurant. We traversed the streets and alleyways looking for someplace interesting. The Dirty Onion (pictured below) was intriguing but it was very busy and we did not want to wait. It seemed to have gruff bouncers!



The restaurant that lured us in was an Indian Restaurant. Don’t remember the name.



Our walk back to the hotel took us through some interesting areas of Belfast. It was raining and it was getting late. My impressions are that this is a lively city with lots to offer. I would definitely recommend visiting. Here is a gallery of photos taken that evening.
