Was really busy with the bus stop across the road but found it after a few minutes!
He's in grand shape for his age isn't he, Old Albert?!
I really like walking around cities and looking at all the buildings and features of note. Caching helps so much with this - it takes you to some fascinating spots and can act like a guide - holding your hand, leading you around, as you move from one cache to another. My colleagues at work think I'm going to be shopping all day in Belfast. They don't know that I cache and would think me bonkers if they found out. Why would I want to spend a day walking around looking in obscure nooks and crannies for wee objects when I could be flitting around department stores? On Monday, they will also want to know where I had lunch (I didn't - I stopped for a coffee and a scone and only because my jacket had a rip and I bought some fabric glue in Craftworld to patch it and I needed a seat in a dry place to sort it out). My route to this cache from Saint Anne's Square was a perfect example of how caching in a city can show off sights that you might never come across otherwise. I was trying to follow the arrow as best as I could and I went up a lane that had a circus school in it which had a glorious mural on its frontage. Opposite this was a doorway that looked like a geometric collage. Then I came out of that lane to find a two part sculpture of lone figures standing on chairs each atop a high angled pole. See, this is why walking around a city is great!
This clock was good too. So ornate.
