At last - we got to see the Giant's Causeway
... of like seeing Niagara Falls for the first time - you just can't stop looking at it.
We came back to town and tried to find a pub we liked - with no luck. The Bushmills Inn is quite posh was so lacking in character, and the second one we tried just seemed to have the wrong vibe somehow. So we gave up and went for a bite to eat at a very nice restaurant. Then home to our lovely B&B with very friendly and helpful hosts.

Wow - imagine being here !!!
Yesterday we drove from Dublin to Dunfanaghy which is in northern Donegal. It was a long drive but we stopped on the way at the Belleek pottery centre and saw some of the work there and some of the historic pieces on display.

In WWII, part of it was used as an air raid shelter. We then headed onwards, along the coast.
