Antrim Coast

To get away from some the excitement and danger of downtown Belfast, today we took a bus to the Antrim Coast to spend some time in the country. Our first stop was Dunluce castle, another very pretty castle. While I really enjoy castles and old stuff, I’ve seen so many castles in the past month I can’t even tell you why this one is important.

Second, we went to the Giant’s Causeway, a natural wonder of the world where the ocean has made almost perfectly pentagonal and rectangular blocks of stone. It was really cool to just sit out there by the ocean and admire how beautiful it was. Luckily, we had an amazing day, and were even able to go out in short sleeves!!! That was kind of a big deal here.

We ended the day on the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge and the surrounding island. Again, this was another picture taking opportunity, and I was shocked at how blue the water was! It was almost like we had left Ireland and had went somewhere tropical instead.

So pretty!
