We car-pooled yesterday to get to the museum. There were six spread over two cars. On our way to Belfast I was lucky to get the front seat and took a couple of pictures.
Shortly before getting in Belfast we noticed this constructions just out side on the motorway. Just wondering whether it actually illuminates at night.
The great thing about the museum that you are allowed to take pictures as long as you don't use the flash setting on the camera. I missed a couple of things last time so I was delighted to have the opportunity again. This time, the shipyard trip was also open. Last time I went to the museum, this part of the exhibition was out of order due to repairs.
For anyone interested in the Titanic and its history it's definitely worth going. I didn't notice the amount of detail in the exhibition. They had actual carpet samples reconstructed for people to have a feel of the material used for the furniture. The above shot is one of the better ones. As far as I remember correctly the picture above depicts the reconstruction of the female 2nd Class cabins.
They also reconstructed some of the pieces of the Titanic such as a sample of the actual life boats used during the rescue.
At the end of tour we all had a nice day and I got to meet new people. And most of us were able to spend the remaining British Sterling we had hidden away in money jars. Couldn't resist taking a photograph.
It's always strange to have a different currency to deal with. And Ireland is one of those wonderful country where you just have to pass the border on the same island and you're suddenly in a different country. We all had a laugh about trying out best to identify the pieces when paying for our food bill and at the same time getting rid of all the small change we had. Above is about £45.00 in small notes and coins.
Now for some translation proof-reading.
