In Belfast we poked around the botanic gardens and then decided to drive around town. Unfortunately the Belfast Marathon was in full swing and many of the streets were closed so we decided to cut our visit short and head back to Dublin. Not completely convinced by the brochures, we took a chance and visited the prehistoric tombs (UNESCO) at Newgrange, and Knowth. Not a single sight, but a historic landscape on the banks of the Boyne, dotted with prehistoric monuments - amazing! We had beautiful weather and the tours were incredibly interesting. At the end of the day we stopped for a 7 minute visit to the Dublin botanic gardens, had dinner and turned in early for an early flight home. What a great vacation! See pictures here and here.
