We were able to see some of the historical sites





In South Africa we have a few things around 300 years old. But the wealth of historical theres here is just amazing.

Yesterday22nd December was special


There are 2 "HUGE" "HUGE" cranes in Belfast. Along with Walter and Alister we went up to check it out. The two are named Samson 330ft tall & Goliath 300ft tall. We went up Samson. Impressive.
