Today we took a day off from driving and touring. We went to see the new Downton Abbey movie. Loved it.
Getting there was half the fun. Somehow I managed to book tickets for the movie at one theatre and get directions to another. Google got us to a rather lonely-looking mall with an Omniplex where we thought we'd booked our tickets. The options for lunch were not great and we ended up at Burger King. [Note to self, the last time I ate there decades ago should have remained the last time I ate there]. We killed some time walking around until almost showtime and then found out our tickets were for a different Omniplex.
Google came through again and all we missed were the previews and the opening scene with the credits. Didn't miss any dialogue. But we almost killed ourselves getting to our seats. The theatre was completely dark, with dim red lines of light along each step, more or less. Our seats were up at the back and the aisle width varied. Eventually, we stumbled into our reserved spots - happy not to have fallen down the stairs. After that, there were no problems and getting home was easy.
Tomorrow we will set out for Dublin and the last week of this odyssey. We have some general plans but won't buy any tickets for anything prior to arrival. We've been told our hotel is in a sketchy area but there's nothing else affordable and it is convenient. We'll manage. Some Airbnb accommodations are over $1100 per night - for one room with an en suite bathroom.
No photos were taken today so none to add. Tomorrow is likely to be short of pictures also as it is a travel day, likely in the rain. It seems every time I drive from Belfast to Dublin it's raining. But we shall just have to wait and see.
