The Causeway Coast.

We have a few sights to get to today. Luckily none of them are very far away. First off is the Carrick-a- rede Bridge. It’s only about four kms from our accomodation. An old fishing bridge used to bring the salmon over to the mainland from the safe harbour of the island. Originally just a one rope ladder bridge. About a kilometre walk to the bridge with lots of beautiful vistas along the way. The bridge is a little hairy if you think about it too much. Well worth it when you get across though to see all the wildflowers on the island.

After a delicious sausage roll and a waffle at the cafe the next stop was The Giants Causeway. Wow so many people, it’s a Sunday so we shouldn’t be surprised I guess. Luckily it’s a big area so all those people spread out once you get past the main area.

We’ve booked a tour at Bushmills this afternoon. Great tour with only a young tour guide who got a hard time from a ignorant German man in our group. We all learnt a few things about whisky we hadn’t known before. A free drink was included at the end and we had a Whisky cocktail, a cosmopolitan today which was so delicious we had to go back for a second. Graham opted for a nip of two different whisky’s instead.

I’m the designated driver today and after a stop over for supplies of wine, beer and cheese I drove home very carefully, thank goodness it is only 10 klms.Baca lagi
