The Belfast tour wasn't nearly as interesting as the Derry tour. We were in a bus or coach the whole time so it was hard to take pictures and nearly impossible to ask questions. We stopped at the dock where the Titanic was built. That was interesting. The dry dock gave us an idea of how titanic the boat was. haha... After that we drove through the protestant side of town and past the murals there.
Then we drove through the "peace wall" to the catholic side. The peace wall was built during the fighting to keep the peace or just to better segregate people. It really shocked me how there had to be a physical barrier between people to keep them from fighting as much. While in the catholic side of town, our coach stopped and we got out to take pictures. 
After that they dropped us off at the hotel, it was about 11am, and we had the rest of the day free. We napped, then went to a really neat indoor/outdoor mall will a tower in the middle that had an awesome view of the city.See more photos on my Facebook album Belfast Tour
