We left Belfast on a cool and wet morning. It did not take long to clear the city and we were in Ballycastle for our morning cup of tea with scones - as you do over here. The Irish do know how to make a good pot of tea. From Ballycastle we took the coastal road towards the giant's causeway. At Carrick-A-Rede we took to a pathway leading to a rope bridge out to a small island. Along with other, somewhat sullen tourists, I would have to say - hardly a smile amongst them. The coast line here is quite dramatic in its own way but not as spectacular as that seen earlier on the trip in Kerry.
After that we stopped again at the giant's causeway where we again took to the paths and made our way down to this remarkable feature. By now the rain was getting fairly constant and we were pleased to get back in the car and to head off looking for a late lunch in Portrush. From there it was just a few kilometres into Derry and our B&B above the old town. We had just enough time for a quick walk into town and to find a place to eat. Another tough day in the office
