After breakfast, we went to the Titanic museum. The Titanic was built in Belfast, so there was a lot of information on it there. We could listen to tracks about the the exhibits, but we were in there for many hours and we only got to number 22 of the 24 tracks before we got hungry for lunch and our feet got sore. It was a bit about Belfast in the early 20th century, but most of it was about building the Titanic since it was done right there. You could even see where she was built from the window of the museum. In the end it talked about why she sank, but we rushed through that part because we were really hungry. We went for lunch in a cafe and then went on a tour of Titanic's tender, the Nomadic, which was in dry dock next door. In the Nomadic, there was some old-fashioned clothes that people wore when they went on the Titanic. People could try them on, and so me and Jonas did that. Then Dad and Jonas went to the HMS Caroline, a war ship from World War I, while Mom and I went home. After dinner, we went bowling in a mall that was next to our boat, which had a bowling alley. Dad won, I came 2nd, Mom came 3rd, and Jonas came 4th.
