Belfast, Ireland 4/18/10

While stopped here we decided to lunch until our ferry leaves in 5 hours. At Burger King we saw 4 girls run out, one of whom was grabbed by a man and held outside for a good 10-15 minutes. Apparently his daughter ran away with two other girls and the one he grabbed was perhaps a friend. Bit of a struggle as she bit and kicked to get away, but he held her long enough till the cops came and took here away in an unmarked car. Originally we had thought that they stole something from him. Ridiculous scene to see outside the windows.

Walked around a little bit before catching the ferry to Stranraer. The Titanic monument was obstructed from view by a Ferris wheel that they were taking down next to city hall. Been there 2 ½ years as some kind of tourist thing. Odd in a city known for a sinking ship as our cabbie described Belfast.
