The Titanic was mostly constructed in Belfast, so naturally they have a big museum there dedicated to it. We decided to spend a day going through the museum. It was interesting more from the perspective of seeing how the actual life was at the time than it was from the design and ultimate flaws in the ship. And a bit disappointing was the fact that they really didn't focus much on the reasons for the sinking or what could have been done to avoid it. But they totally made up for that by having a ride in the museum. Possibly the weirdest thing to put right in the middle of a museum, but a nice touch.
What we really wanted to see though was the Iron Throne from the Game of Thrones set. A lot of the sound stage work is done just down the road from the Titanic museum at the Titanic Studios. The day before we were there the queen herself (the real one...like "of England" real) visited the studio and got to see the throne, so naturally I assumed we would be able to get in. Apparently I was wrong on this account. Don't they know who the hell I am?! No? Oh, ok then. I'll settle for watching the rest of the series on tv.
