"Wanna go to a real party" - Titanic Belfast













What an amazing place. I stayed overnight in the drawing rooms of Harland and Wolff. It's like sleeping in a museum. The small touches were phenomenal, from the dimmed lighting which would have been the same on the titanic, the steel corridors to get to the bedrooms, the rooms looking like the engine room. What an amazing hotel. I had dinner in the main drawing room which is in the iconic picture of the drawing rooms. As a guest, you can also wander around the rooms such as Mr Anderson's Office. All are now conference room.

I visited Titanic Belfast and oh my gosh, what a wonder! I listened to my audio guide while walking through the exhibits, onto a ride through the engine room, through rooms made up like they were third class, second class and first class. I also wandered over to the tender boat which is docked in front of Titanic Belfast.

A highlight was definitely standing on the staircase used for the film Titanic. All I could think of in my head was Jack saying to Rose "Wanna go to a real party".
