Yesterday, sunny 11 degrees Celsius. Finally, the weather allowed me to go for my Cavehill hiking trip. I quickly called my friends for hiking. One of them not feeling well and the other one still not yet awake so I just read online newspaper while waiting for my friend to wake up. We started our trip by taking bus ‘8a’ to the city centre. I paid £2.70 for the whole day pass. After taking out lunch at Burger King, we continue our journey by taking bus ‘1a’. My friend told me there is no Burger King at his hometown (NingPo).
(My friend was standing in front of the Belfast Castle)
Belfast Castle is at the foot of Cavehill so we visited the castle. Although the castle is quite small, it has a nice garden and architecture. The building that stands today was completed in 1870 by 2nd Marquess of Donegall, and was designed by Charles Lanyon and his son in Scottish baronial style.
We continue the trip after spending about half and hour there. We took cavehill trail. There are caves on the hill. I learnt that those cave were man made due to iron mining. We saw quite a lot of people bring their dogs to hike with them so certainly there are dog’s poops on the trail.At the summit, it was very windy. I just stopped for a while and took some photos before leave. It is a plateau at the top of the hill.
I saw some tree with a lot of flowers. It is really nice. I am not sure is it sakura (cherry tree) or some other type of flowers.
We reached Elms around 5 something in the evening. I enjoy this trip very much.
