Well we arrived in Belfast on Friday afternoon and met up with the couple that we were couch surfing with (its a web site where you meet up with people online and crash at their house, just in case your not sure what that means). It was the first time we were meeting them and seriously they are the coolest and sweetest couple ever we were so lucky! Nikolett and Istvan are both from Hungary and came to Ireland to study English! They were the best hosts ever and live in the cutest flat! We spent 4 nights with them so much fun.... (actually make that 5 im here right now, we just missed them way to much, so we came back)
They had a whole welcome package of pamphets for everything there is to do in Belfast. This is the view from their flat and this is a picture of them.... so cute :)
One night Nikolett cooked us a traditional Hungarian meal...
its called BAKONYI SZELET.... it was sooooooooo good!
Nikolett took us around Belfast and brought us to see the University and the botanical gardens! I love the pic of Nikolett walking through the tropical gardens :)
Then they both took us to see the Belfast Castle.... How Amazing!!!!
Things I like....
