Trip - Edinburgh - Glasgow - Belfast

I woke up very early and spent more time walking around Edinburg.

After that, I spent a couple hours in Glasgow, which also lived up to what I've heard -- not as nice as Edinburgh, but still had a lot of character. From there I went down the Stranraer and took a ferry (the Stena HSS) across to Belfast.

The ferry was much smaller than the B&O ferry that I took across the Channel a few months ago. But I think it was a little nicer inside. It had a mini movie theater and a Burger King, which the other one didn't have. It's supposedly the world's largest and smoothest fast ferry. It definitely was smooth and fast!

Belfast was an interesting city. It reminded me of Manchester -- some old things, but a lot of it was very new and modern. It was, for the most part, a nice city. It's hard to imagine violent protests / riots there.
