Tuesday the 12th was our last day in Belfast and we were determined to make the most of it, so after finishing off the packing and checking out of the hotel we made our way to Café Parisienne for breakfast. It was very quiet inside when we got there and there seemed to be no one around so we wondered over to the bar to make sure they were actually open for breakfast. The woman behind the bar said 'oh, we don't do breakfast - we're a crepery'. Hmmmmm - can you not eat crepes for breakfast?? Me thinks you can!. Anyway we actually had raspberry scones with jam and clotted cream....for breakfast, how decadent is that! It was so good! 
After breakfast we scooted over the road to city hall to do the free guided tour. This was fantastic, really informative and as mentioned FREE! The guide was very nice and you really got a good look around the beautiful building. We were part of a small group of 4 people, which really helped. As we were not rushed and had plenty of time to look around. It really is stunning! We got to go inside the council chambers and even pose for photo's in the mayor's throne (big fancy chair!) Paul and I both said the tour was one of the highlights of the week end. I can highly recommend it!
After leaving the City hall we had a little wander around the shops, but sadly we had to be back at the hotel for 12.30pm for our taxi back to the airport. It was heavy and sad hearts that we left. Our flight home was delayed by nearly and hour which really didn't help. We were both so sorry to be leaving Northern Ireland behind, but we both know we'll be back as soon as possible. There is still so much to explore.
