My better half had long expressed the wish to take a trip on the Belfast Wheel www.belfastcity.gov.uk/cityhall/bigwheel.asp ; a successful tourist attraction or monstrosity perched over the Titanic memorial beside the City Hall depending on your viewpoint.
Anyway, we headed off to Belfast midweek and had a very nice Lunch at Nicks Warehouse http://www.nickswarehouse.co.uk/ before some shopping, then on to the wheel. Having been on the London eye the Belfast wheel was, if not exactly a disappointment, and whilst giving unusual viewpoint of the city, rotated too fast in my opinion to give the tourist time to properly survey the cityscape spread out below. At £6.50 for three rotations of the wheel, worth doing, but more time to savour the view might have been nice.
Having dodged the rain as we disembarked the wheel we headed off to look for a new driver for my golf fanatic wife. The cost of a driver (and three wood) was worth it just to see the expression of joy as she rattled ball after ball straight down the test range. I have high hopes for the weekend.
