Belfast, Northern Ireland (UK) ~ Part 4

Next stop, Jolly ol' England...
Location: Belfast, Northern Ireland (UK)
Best know for "The Troubles"
3 decades of conflict and violence between the Protestants-Unionists and the Catholic-Nationalists.
1969-1997
Even though, The Troubles were brought to an end through a peace process, the neighborhoods still feel very aggressive and are clearly still fighting this war through elaborate murals.
The Protestant-Unionist neighborhood...



The Catholic-Nationalists neighborhood...

Our next morning was to be spend exploring Belfast's Donegal Square, but the oncoming storm put a damper on that...
So, here's a quick shot of were the Titanic was built, from the car window...
...on the way to Dublin.
