The circus

Last night my sister and I made our way to Belfast. The circus was in town. Not just any circus either: Cirque du Soleil. Neither of us had ever seen them, so we didn't really know what to expect.

Well, what we got was stomach dropping acrobatics in the air, on trampolines, on the floor. There was a guy with a diabolo who was just amazing. A contortionist where I wondered whether she would ever be straight again and some fantastic clowns giving us a love story. 

This last photo is of my favourite act. She is just hanging off his neck and he is just holding on to some ropes. No safety nets or anything!

Brom and the seven dwarfs

Coocoo

Yesterday we went to Belfast, but we didn't go to see a lot of old buildings and churches and statues and stuff, we went shopping. And bear, can those two girls shop! Now, they are not clothes shoppers, but they love their books and they love dvd's, so a lot of time was spent in both the book stores and the dvd-shop. 

Not only did we go there, we also went to the Christmas market. It wasn't as big as the ones in Germany Mara said, but it looked pretty big to me! There were so many lights in Belfast as well. A lot of Christmas trees with twinkly lights and a lot of other twinkly lights. It was quite magical. 

After dinner, Mara and her sister and me went to the best place of the day: The Grand Opera House in Belfast. Because we were going to see Snow White. We got really good seats (thanks to her sister who booked the tickets), not too far away and not too close and we could see everything that happened on stage. 

There was Snow White and seven dwarves (one who fell asleep the whole time), there was May the cook (May McFettridge, a Northern Irish legend), Muddles (who was very funny) and of course a very handsome prince (Chico) and an evil witch, who we booed every time she came out on stage.

It was very funny and we all had a great time! Mara didn't take any photos from the show itself, but those were taken before the show! I just hope I will be able to go next year as well. To Cinderella!
