Dark Hedges
11. august 2023, Nord-Irland ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Die Dark Hedges sind eine Buchenallee entlang der Bregagh Road. Die Bäume bilden einen stimmungsvollen Tunnel, der als Drehort in der beliebten Fernsehserie Game of Thrones diente , was dazu führte, dass die Allee zu einer beliebten Touristenattraktion geworden ist.

Um 1775 baute James Stuart ein neues Haus, das nach seiner Frau Grace Lynd Gracehill House genannt wurde. Entlang der Zufahrtsstraße zum Anwesen wurden über 150 Buchen gepflanzt, um einen imposanten Zugang zu schaffen.

Der Legende nach werden die Hecken von einem Geist namens „Graue Dame“ besucht, der über die Straße wandert und von Baum zu Baum huscht. Es wird behauptet, dass sie entweder der Geist von James Stuarts Tochter oder einer der Dienstmädchen des Hauses ist, die auf mysteriöse Weise ums Leben kam, oder ein Geist aus einem verlassenen Friedhof.Les mer

Reisende Das ist wortwörtlich wie im Film 😊 aber für diese Allee musst du sehr früh aus dem Bett, ab 9.00 Uhr kommen dann die Menschenmassen und schieben sich da durch. Ich war um 05.00 da, damit ich noch in Ruhe genießen und Fotos machen kann.

Sligo - Derry - Giants Causeway- Belfast
12. august 2023, Nord-Irland ⋅ 🌧 18 °C
We left Sligo at 9am today to travel to Derry. It poured rain most of the way.

Derry is the second-largest city in Northern Ireland.

A quick walk around and some morning tea and back on the road to The Giants Causeway. The rain had gone by the time we arrived there and the sun was out.

The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption.

It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986.

The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although some have four, five, seven, or eight sides.[7] The tallest are about 12 metres (39 ft) high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres (92 ft) thick in places.

This was amazing to see.

After a couple of hours we left Giants Causeway and headed for our hotel in Belfast where will again have dinner with our travelling group.

Hillsborough Castle, Irland
18. august 2023, Nord-Irland ⋅ 🌬 15 °C
Nach einer kurzen Fahrt gelangten wir zu Hillsborough Castle. Dies wird noch heute bewohnt von der königlichen Familie, wenn sie sich in Irland aufhalten. Leider durften wir in den Innenräumen keine Fotos machen. Die spezielle Führung von James war sehr interessant und wir konnten viele private und persönliche Gegenstände der royalen Familie bestaunen. Das Haus ist sehr schön gestaltet, richtig gemütlich. Man spürt, dass dies kein Museum ist, sondern ein „Zuhause“. Leider spielte das Wetter heute nicht mit. Wir entschlossen uns dennoch durch den wunderschönen englisch angelegten Garten zu wandeln.Les mer

Belfast!
23. august 2023, Nord-Irland ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Today was a busy travel day for us. We said our goodbyes early in the morning and hopped on the train from Cambridge to London. We took the Underground to our previous flat where we had stored our bags. Next, we got back on the Underground to our Heathrow terminal. (The Elizabeth line is incredibly nice.) After that we checked our bags and had a bit of trouble in security, but proceeded onward. We stopped for some late lunch and then sat in the terminal for just under 2 hours. Once we boarded our flight, it took about an hour and a half to get to Belfast. We took a taxi to our airbnb and explored the town, then finally ended the night with food from Tesco and Derry Girls.Les mer

Belfast Vol. 2!
24. august 2023, Nord-Irland ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
We all woke up early today. Penny and Amy got coffee + pastries from a local cafe and after breakfast Ryan went on a run to the city center. (He and David ran together in Norwich, and he says he wants to keep it up.) We did some laundry and read our books for a while before heading out for the day. We walked for a few miles along the waterfront before stopping for a quick bite to eat at a cafe. Then we went to the Titanic museum which was incredible. Intricate and engaging, the exhibit was totally immersive. We all had a lovely time. After that we stopped at a pub (but Penny wasn’t allowed in), so got some drinks to enjoy outside. Once we walked back to the house, we had some quiet time before going out for a delicious dinner at the Errigle Inn. We shopped for breakfast and lunch for Friday, then came home to retire for the night.Les mer

Belfast Vol. 3!
25. august 2023, Nord-Irland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
We had quite the busy day!! We did a black cab tour of the causeway and Belfast. Our tour driver, Paddy, picked us up at 8:30. A quick note on him: a Belfast native, he founded his tour company here. He was lovely to us but not completely unbiased like he claimed to be. When someone lives through something like the troubles here, they tend to have opinions that shine through. Anyway, we started off up at the rope bridge right on the coast about an hour north of the city. From there, we headed towards Giant’s Causeway to climb the rocks. After spending approximately 4 hours up North, we came back to Belfast for our mural tour. Next we got dropped off in the city center for drinks, and then stopped to pick up a pizza at Greens Pizza on the way home. We spent our evening relaxing after our long day. (Author’s note: this post is long but not incredibly detailed because the photos show more than the words.)Les mer

Potluck and Prayers
5. september 2023, Nord-Irland ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
I begin with the potluck:
We had a wonderful Labor Day celebration last night. Burgers, sausages, charcuterie, guacamole, sweet potato casserole, salad, pigs in a blanket and more. My heart was happy and my stomach full. We had another Ceile of singing and sharing which was a good way to end my night.

The prayer:
At 5:15am the potluck no longer made me happy. To make a longish story shorter, I ended up at the Irish Emergency Room around 8am. My roommate, Isabella, was hugely instrumental in caring for me while I was still at home. She did all of the right things and helped the group leader make good choices on how to best handle the situation. Turns out I have some sort of stomach bug- likely food poisoning. The doctors and nurses at the hospital were very nice and it was a very interesting cultural experience being seen there. It is so fascinating how we all speak English, but communicating cross culturally can still be really difficult. I'm proud of myself though for navigating the differences as best I can and for sticking up for myself/listening to my body. I also was able to experience the free healthcare system which was a good thing to learn about. Now, I am at home, have some medicine, and am resting. I appreciate all of your prayers. I AM OKAY and will get better so soon, but prayers still appreciated. Thank you all!Les mer

Giants Causeaway
12. september 2023, Nord-Irland ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Prayer update: Isabella is out of the hospital! I think everyone is feeling good besides some small colds.

It’s crazy to think we only have 1 more week in Ireland! Next Friday we travel to London. I’m super excited to go to London. It’s the only place on this trip I’ve been before and I’m really excited to go back. It is a bit sad though, I’m really loving my time here. It is peaceful, quiet, and beautiful. I’m for sure excited to get to a bigger city with more things to do, but we have found lots of fun things to do here in Rostrevor. It’s really special to get to know the people on my trip very well since we spend pretty much every moment together. And I’m glad we’ve been able to do this here in a small town before we go to bigger cities. I also have loved learning about the history of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. I’m excited to share all I’ve learned!
The pictures I posted here are from our trip to Giants Causeaway on Tuesday. It’s at the northern most part of Northern Ireland and is right on the water. It was formed from volcanic eruptions and made polygonal columns of basalt. It was beautiful. And the weather was perfect. Sarah and I also left the group for a minute to go try to find the cows and that’s when we found the beautiful open fields. Love that everything is so green here!Les mer

Belfast: Most importantly Lord Kelvin
19. september 2023, Nord-Irland ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
Last week, our group took a day trip to Belfast. This is where the Titanic was built so we went to the Titanic Museum there. It was pretty cool. Sarah, Mitchell, and I enjoyed breakfast and coffee at a cute little place. We also went by Queens University and ended up going to a cookout with some of the students. That was super fun and gave us the chance to meet some local students our age. Glad we happened upon it! Most importantly, I saw a statue of Lord Kelvin who created the absolute temperature scale (ah chemistry hehehe). I sent a picture to all my chem professors, and they loved it. I’m in London now and will update soon!!Les mer
