Police Escort Out of Belfast

Yes we were escorted out of Belfast by the police!

We travelled up from Dublin by train, an interesting trip mainly along the coast. When we arrive, we dropped off our luggage at the car hire and spent the afternoon walking round Belfast.

The City Hall was most impressive with its beautiful dome and its wonderful marble staircase. We went on a conducted tour and walked on the beautiful silk and wool carpets and even sat in the mayoral chair.

Then it was time to drive up to Carrickfergus for the night. In the first 5 minutes we were lost! After another 10 minutes had to resort to police assistance. The officer looked us over and decided we were a priority case and escorted us out of town. No he did not say don't come back.

Well. I am not in the least surprised. The only surprise is that you didn't tell him you were in a hurry and get escorted out of town with the police lights flashing and siren going!

You obviously need one of theotherbear's home made GPS's. Only make sure it's not like the one I heard about recently - told a school bus driver to "Turn right" which he did - straight onto the train line.
