North Coast Railway Journey

Yesterday, as a treat, Fabian Wildman bought me and him daytracker tickets from translink. They give you unlimited travel on the trains for one day for only six quid. Great bargain we thought, especially because we both needed a day outside Belfast. We left Battle Cat down with Nanny Boo Boo early on and off we went.

We decided we'd get off at each town and walk around for a wee while. Here's what we thought of each of them:

Antrim - hole.

Ballymena - Looks like the eighties never ended. All the people look the same (they might be inbred).

Cullybackey - We didn't get off here (based on what we could see from the window).

Ballymoney - Red brick all the way. Cool train station though.

Coleraine - National Front training camp, they should build a big concrete wall around it and fill it in with cement.

We didn't stop at either Castlerock or Bellarina but there are cool views from the train around these places.

Derry - We liked Derry, we went into a few cool pubs here but we had to get the train back at seven, bit too early.

We were glad to get back to Belfast and when we did we cowered in fear at what was outside it. On the way back we talked about Bear Grylls and how he must come from outside Belfast because we saw a lot of people who we thought would walk about the countryside eating dead animals. Fabian Wildman said he thought bear wouldn't have got invited to any funerals because afterwards he'd dig up the grave again and have a good old much of the dead person. We cowered in fear. I don't want to go outside Belfast again for a long time.
