Dunluce castle ruin |
We don’t dock in Belfast until noon today,
so we are able to spend a relaxing morning. Once out tour begins we drive a
while inland where we make a short stop for at Dunluce Castle
mostly for a photo stop. It’s quite a sight perched on a craggy cliff
overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
The main attraction on this
tour is visiting the Giants' Causeway. It is a drive through the Irish
countryside stopping a couple of times for a stretch and a photo before
arriving at the Giant’s Causeway. The causeway
was formed between 50 and 60 million years ago by a volcano, the causeway takes
its name from the legends of the giant Finn McCool. The causeway is a series
of hexagonal rock columns.

Giant's Causeway hexagonal rock formations and a joke apparently |
Next we visit a castle ruin,
see many, many cows and sheep before returning to Belfast. The weather holds up somewhat with
only a couple of rain drops until we re-board the bus when the skys open and
there are spots of torrential downpours.
