Two tours today from the MSC Preziosa which is apparently the largest cruise ship into Belfast this year so far with almost six thousand people on board!
It has about 14 decks as well as restaurants, bars, a theatre and casino and will be leaving Belfast for Scotland this evening about 6PM

Second tour today was a Highlights of Belfast walking tour for my guests from New York and delivered on behalf of North of Ireland TourS
This tour is always a fun one to do as I include a stop off in the Cathedral Quarter for a 'wee pint' something which my guests always enjoy! 🍻

There's many a Saturday night you could have found Wee Walks Belfast here at Joplins in the old Drumkeen Hotel.
It was one of South East Belfast's busiest entertainment venues opening in the 1960's before closing in 1994 and was located just beside where Sainsbury's petrol station is on Upper Galway.
I wonder if it was still around today would it be called 'Lesley-keen' 🤣

This is a nice little tribute from the Shultz Museum showing the April 1976 cover of Ms Magazine which was launched by the legendary Gloria Steinem in 1972. Ms was the first magazine owned, run and written by women and Gloria had helped to found New York magazine a few years before in 1968. She remained with Ms as editor and writer for the next fifteen years.
Gloria died yesterday at her home in Manhattan aged 92.

Belfast City Hall has been lit up pink in memory of the country music star.

The special illumination is in recognition of her death last week at the age of 80.

Parton had a connection to the city through her Imagination Library, with Belfast City Council teaming up with her foundation in 2025 to provide free books to babies registered at city hall.

She also performed in Northern Ireland a number of times, most recently at Belfast’s Odyssey Arena in 2014.
