At last - we got to see the Giant's Causeway
The day started with the usual breakfast at the B&B. Then we headed out for the city walls and the walking tour recommended by the B&B operator. It was pouring rain and not the kind of day when one feels inspired to do a walking tour. However, by the time the tour actually began, the rain had finished and the blue sky showed up - the rain did not start again until about 5 minutes before the end of the tour. It was an ...
Wow - imagine being here !!!

Day 2 Dublin to Northern Ireland
... We drove downtown and parked. We ate lunch at Monicos Bar. We walked to town center and saw the beautiful buildings there. We visited a small Irish store and then went to the visitors center to get information. After Belfast we headed north to County Antrim to see the Causeway and rope bridge. Somehow we ended up going to wrong way (most likely due to the car stalling around the roundabouts and the pouring rain). We ended up on some country road ...
Field trip the the North
... her 25th birthday I think.
The next day, we were in Bellfast city. We saw the Bellfast wall, dividing the Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods, which is crazy to think still needs to be standing. The houses near the wall actually have metal cages covering the back sides of them. Many of the buildings in this area have big murals painted on them, supporting heros ...
