    Made in Belfast Restaurant

    Posted by David39 5 February 2011

    It's a funky and friendly place with really delicious food. Staff are genuinely interested in their customers and make you feel at home and provide excellent food. I had a really good steak from their great menu. Is tucked away down a little road called Wellington Street.

    Taking taxi tour of Belfast

    Posted by David39 5 February 2011

    Ask any taxi driver to take you on a tour around, it should cost about £20 for the hour. They will show you the cemetery and the murals as well as other historic sights, giving you a real flavour of the city and a strong sense of it's very recent history. Was the best £20 that I've spent in ages. Some drivers are willing to do it, others not. Just ask!

    Best to get a taxi outside the city hall, but anywhere will do.

    The Thatched Cottage

    Posted by David39 5 February 2011

    It is the best seafood restaurant. The prawns were the size of crayfish and really delicious. There was a great wine list and the whole evening was tied together by very friendly staff and a great manager who kept us laughing all night. The price was very good for such gourmet food. Perfect atmosphere.

    Kandy Cottage

    Posted by David39 5 February 2011

    An old colonial house converted into a guest house in an absolutely beautiful setting. It is set in a peaceful part of Kandy very close to the station and other attractions. Extremely friendly hosts make your stay pleasant and peaceful. The price is very good for such a beautiful location and level of comfort. At night you can see bats the size of eagles and I even was fortunate enough to see wild boars roaming around the garden. The manager provides travel advice and helps to order tuk tuks at reasonable prices. I did the booking through Red Dot Tours and had excellent service from them and the manager of the cottage.

    The train ride is absolutely beautiful. Although the train can get very crowded, the people are very friendly and helpful. As the ancient diesel train gradually climbs into the mountainous countryside, cool breezes usher in a wonderful feeling to the traveller, not to be missed.

    The scenery is breathtaking. Sit on the right hand side of the train for the best view. Takes about three hours and costs about £4.

    Go to Colombo Fort Station and get the train to Kandy.
