Welcome to Episode 53 of my “Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure” podcast.
This podcast episode talk about my recent week-long backpacking trip to Northern Ireland. However, it’s less about Northern Ireland specifically, and more about the practical side of backpacking for a week in off-season while there are still Covid pandemic restrictions and admin to contend with. Though I do talk a little about some of the places and museums I visited. That said, the ‘T word’ probably deserves its own podcast at some point so I only talk about that in passing; indeed I think I mention Parkrun more.
Topics discussed include:
- Why this podcast episode, and that I have a cold
- Storm Dudley
- Why Northern Ireland
- Backpacker Hostels in Belfast
- Tourist Attractions Not To Visit In Bad Weather
- Booking museums in advance because of Covid
- Being the only person on a museum tour that you book in advance because of Covid
- Buying bus and train tickets not in advance
- AirBnBs
- Barefoot Parkrunning at Falls Park
- Pubs and cafes and why I have a cold
- Accepting drinks from strangers feels awkward
- It was all rather easy in the end
