Day 5 - Giants Causeway


I took another tour with Railtours up the East coast of Ireland to Giant's Causeway. Like the Burren in the south of Ireland, this is another amazing site if you like interesting geology. There are thousands of 5 and 6 sides columns of stone. All fitted together like a huge puzzle. It was caused by volcanic eruption.

Then we went to the Carrick-a-rede Rope bridge - that joins a small island off of the coast. It was a very secure bridge but it was also a very windy day and they had had the bridge closed all day until right before we arrived. The whole area was spectacularly beautiful. On the way back, I left the tour in Belfast in Northern Ireland and stayed the night there.
