    Giant's Causeway, a distillery & a giant

    May 17 in Northern Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Stopped into a lookout and visited a castle from the carpark (it wasnt open yet) on our way to the Giant's Causeway...
    Giant's causeway... AMAZING rock formations that are over 55million years old. Spent a few hours there. Well worth the included guided tour down to the causeway. She was brilliant telling us about the geology, the mythology, the landscape, flora and fauna of the area.
    Amazes me that people paid the same to go visit but didn't go with a guide. More notes will be on the photos.
    As the causeway is about 5mins from Bushmills, we HAD to go do their distillery tour too... hehe. Tour was good but the whiskey not as good as at Midleton. Got the recipe for a nice Irish Margarita though.

    Then drove on to find a camp for the night and found the Dark Sky Park (observatory). It has one of 3 Giants like we have in Mandurah. The observatory closes at 9pm so no good for looking at the stars as sunset isn't until about 1015pm at this time of year. Gary struggled with his knees at the causeway so we didn't push it hard this afternoon.
