Ireland Tour Day Eight

Today we headed off to Belfast via the Giants Causeway and some other fun stuff. The first stop was the Giants Causeway, which is where a giant built a walkway to Scotland and found himself a wife then the jealous Scottish lover destroyed the bridge thinking the Irish giant was way more massive than him, lol yes story is totally massively shortened :) both Alex and I were not as impressed as we expected to be by it, the rocks weren't as big as we thought they would be and it wasn't as massive as expected. But still it was fun clambering over the rocks and taking pics :) found a bunch of random coins stuck in the rocks which were bent and eroded, so weird and random, totally the first pics we both took lol.

The next stop was a photo stop at White Park Bay Viewpoint, just a quick stop this one. Then we headed to Ballintoy for a wander, well a wander for me and lunch for the others, the lil cafe there didn't do gluten free so I went for a walk. Alex and Keith went cave exploring, I took pics :) Then I went over to some grassey rock area and took pics, stared at the sea crashing against the rocks, and looked for crabs in the rock pools - we didn't find any :( then we found a beach and made a sand castle village where three families lived (the white stones, black stones and seaweeds) and there was a tree and a drawbridge and moat.

Back in the bus and we headed to Carrrick-a-Rede which is just a swing bridge that you pay to cross and ain't at all scary but the views are wicked awesome. Then after a brief stop at the Games of Thrones site (the Kings Road) we were off to Belfast. Had a quick wander in the city centre before being dropped at the hostel. Didn't really take any pics as I plan to come back here before leaving Ireland :)
