Dublin to Belfast

Sarah and I have decided that it would probably be smarter for us to get up to Belfast the day before the concert instead of the morning of the concert. This way, we will have all day to get to the concert and not be in any rush. We woke up early at our hostel and went to the train station to buy our tickets for up to Belfast. We then walked across town to the National Museum of Ireland: Archaeology. The museum was full of treasures and the history of Vikings and English monarchy from centuries ago. It was interesting to see the architecture in things as well as the detail in some of the artifacts found. 
After being done with the museum we walked back towards the train station to see of we could hop on an earlier train. We had planned on leaving on the 3:20 pm train, but we were able to leave on the 1:20 pm train! We had sandwiches from a grocery store last night for dinner and we decided to save money and do it again since we had bread left over. Nothing like a ham, cheese, and Doritos sandwich! We both talked about how it reminded us of when we were little kids on family vacations!
The train to Belfast has been very very smooth and the countryside has been so green and beautiful. The weather is sunny out and only a few clouds so we have been able to see all of the hills. Very gorgeous country!
