Ahhh, relaxing day of NOTHING!

Oooooohhhhhh, such a nice big sleep in today! It was so wonderful and nice and cozy! We had a lazy lazy lazy day. Taking it easy, doing some washing, reading our books before deciding we should probably do something productive for the day and head out back in the city of Belfast. It was once more raining and grey, but this time we had our rain jackets so we didn’t mind the downpours this time so much.

We stopped in Maccas again for our free WIFI, but this detour was hellish. Maccas on any day is busy, but being a Saturday and in the middle of the city, it was HELL! Screaming children, harassed mothers, over worked, flustered looking employees giving you ‘looks’ when you added on a “and could I also please have a…” when ordering, they clearly didn’t want to be working there.

After this, and a brief look about the city, we moved onto see the new Terminator movie, which I have to say, is crap. I didn’t like this movie at all, and for a moment closed my eyes during the film before thinking “oh crap, we paid for this movie, I guess I should watch it” I liked Star Trek much better. I am obviously a geek, not an action/adventure girl.

This was about all we accomplished today. Other than dinner that is. We went to a little place around the corner called “Foo.kin Express” it made us giggle, and it was a nice meal! We sat and people watched for a time, taking in all the women who walked past, dressed to the nines. All in tiny dresses, huge heels, and fake tanned until they look orange and all sporting peroxide blond locks. This is obviously the look that is fashionable here in Belfast, but I am happy not to join this ‘fad’ and just be me!

This really was the extent of our day, it was so chilled out, so relaxed, so nice, and we really really enjoyed ourselves.
