At last - we got to see the Giant's Causeway
... of the inner walled part of the city that dates back to 1600's. Most of the tour information focused on the recent troubles - 1967 to 1980's. Most of the information has already left my brain but made such good sense at the time. We bought a DVD of the tour so I can get refreshed about what caused all of those terrible times.

Our next stop was Londonderry (Derry). We arrived late at night and thought we’d try and see if they had a place available at a B&B in Bogside (the Catholic area at the heart of troubles during many of the riots). No such luck so we relied on our GPS to take us to a nearby hotel where we were happy to shower and hop into nice double ...
