I think much sean does from time i think that the wide open spaces here on the lake and forest landscapes gave him a certain sense of home with his through here and make it happen thats about enough to also move up and that was the trigger for him to start writing not about other regions but the one he came from. And which he came to love so much that later in life he wrote 5 books about it. Even. Before i keep following my fun time route there are a few tips for you what else does brant burke have to offer especially now in the summer many tourists come here to the most watery state in germany.

Just come into the duke of york its one of the oldest pubs in belfast city its back to the hundreds of lots of bars in belfast but this is definitely one of my favorites of. The old. Murders so its a real iconic bar and the site of a really good start. Has a population of roughly 400000. 00 but considering the size of the study we have a really impressive civic building a beautiful city hall which at the same time was also the home of our lord mayor. And. It was. Great for next office our people Titanic Museum so its a symbol of our heritage but its also a memorial for the many lives that were lost at sea now the reason the titanic was. At the turn of the 20th century was the largest and Fastest GrowingIndustrial City and the british empire. And of course time that we had a sort of a hotel on board of a ship and. Now this is more like i would have traveled if i had left and 912. 00 3rd class cabin so a lot of the irish emigrants would have only had money to afford a small bed like this.

Beside me as one of the last remaining peace signs peace signs that we once had all across Northern Ireland used to separates the protestant from the catholic community. Its really become a remnant of the symbol of what used to be as you can see weve a lot. Of those organized projects for both the communities where they come.

With of what was this room for us for here for this was frederick the great ceremonial and concert hall he wanted to have big festivities and he wanted to give concerts here fredricka. As a passionate flute planned he wanted to play here that any managed to do so once because the room was finished so late. But in that tradition we put on small concerts here and there may need Chamber Music concerts with a photo piano for example small concerts with space for up to 100 people at the time he was thrown out as one of them.
