Day 8 Belfast Divided and United

The Shankill and Falls roads remain separated by the peace wall. Interconnecting streets have their gates closed at night

The peace wall is covered in murals and personal messages, you could be in Berlin in the 60s. Where the paint is peeling is evidence of petrol bombs. The murals leave you in no doubt as to which side of the divide you are on.

if you ever wondered about the difference between a rubber bullet and a baton round....

This area is fortunately quite small and although still a tinderbox, doesn't reflect the rest of this city, nor those under the age of 30.

A very sunny afternoon, so a little spin out to Comber near Strangford Lough 

Total journey 256.76 miles

The end.
