Beautiful Belfast

We spent yesterday exploring Belfast, visiting a number of beautiful old churches, especially St George and St Anne's Cathedral. We visited the Crowne Pub with its wonderful individual booths where you can order a pint of Guinness and a dozen oysters with a silent message.

In the afternoon we went out to Belfast Castle and Cave Hill Country Park. The castle was morelike an old mansion and was being prepared for a wedding that night.

Back at Carrickfergus, we visited the old Norman Castle dating from the 10th century. This was wonderful as it is located right on the coast and is still in its original condition.

We continue our trip up the Antrim coast.

What is a pint of Guinness and a dozen oysters with a silent message? I get the oysters and Guinness bit but what is the message?

yes, I was wondering that too. And is the message for you as the consumer or do you give a silent message to order the beer and oysters?

Lowering the tone (again) maybe the silent message is that Guinness makes you fart?
