First we make a quick photo stop at Dunluce Castle - ancestral home of the McDonnell clan. Well this was until its kitchen collapsed into the sea during a great feast in 1639 - killing many staff, who's ghosts are said to still linger in the ruins even to this day. ooOOooo!!!!
Not much of a drive and we then arrive to trace the footprints of the Celtic Giants, walk the Giants Causeway! A world heritage site and the proud location of an estimated 60,000 hexagonal columns of Basalt rock formed by Cataclysmically violent volcanic eruptions a long long time ago! Of course this volcanic eruption is not good enough for the Irish and we were told a myth about how a giant warrior hero - Fionn McCool - built it to fight of the pesky Scots. Which ever story you want to take with you its a really cool site, how every you look at it.
With still so much to see we stop for a quick pub lunch before arriving at the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge. Carrick-a-rede means 'rock in the road'. It is thought salmon fishermen have been erecting bridges to the island for over 350 years. The bridge links the mainland to the tiny Carrick Island. The bridge spans twenty meters and is thirty meters above the rocks below.
After crossing the bridge and living to tell the tale we then pressed onto our final destination Belfast. Here we did the infamous Black Taxi Tour. So much history, pain and politics it was hard not to be interested in what was being said. Finding it hard to tell you about the tour and what was covered as so much was said and seen. If you ever visit Belfast this is a must do tour.
