Typical weather in my home city of Belfast in the summer is "Rain" and its so depressing, and with everything going on in the world at this moment it looks like the holiday season is not happening. Don't get me wrong the weather in Belfast has always been like this so I'm used to it, but not getting away this year makes the winter even longer.

We have plenty of indoor attractions for day trips like the Titanic Museum which is my image picture, even though I only live around the corner from the museum I have never set foot in it, think when it's on your door step you never get the chance to go. I love the outdoors, going camping and hiking up the mourn mountains. So today is one of those rainy days and 20 degrees so I'm sitting here writing a blog post and continuing with my training at WA as the rain keeps pouring down.

A landmark you would see when you fly into Belfast are Samson and Goliath the Harland & Wolff cranes, although they are a landmark they didn't arrive at the same time in Belfast,Goliath arrived first in 1969 and Samson arrived in 1974 but they have been a landmark for Belfast ever since. When people visit Belfast they ask where they the cranes that built the titanic which was built in 1909 and launched in 1911 from Belfast. It didn't set sail til April 10, 1912, at noon from Southampton,England and went to France then to Queenstown In Ireland before leaving for its main voyage on April 14th at 11.40pm, It hit the iceberg at 12.40am on April 15th.
