Day 19: The Burren to Northern Ireland

Hi everybody,
Top of the morning to ya!!
As our eyes opened, we remembered that we had slept in a horsebox! We drove about 50 meters to the big house where we had an organic, home-cooked Irish breakfast cooked for us. 

After that, we went on an extremely long journey north from The Burren through Galway, Sligo, Donnegal (where we stopped for a wee and some sensational sandwiches which we ate as the car sped to the Giants Causeway!...) and Derry/Londonderry into Northern Ireland. 

Excitedly, we walked down the path and we had an audio guide which gave us lots of information about the Giants Causeway and Finn McCool. Finn was a giant (over 50 feet tall) who one day went to work to make The Giants Causeway. 

I was energetic with excitement as we hopped around on the hexagonal rocks. We were lucky again with the weather as the sun shone and  the sky was blue, and not a cloud was in sight. Towering above us, the cliffs were enormously gargantuan and we took some photos and went as far as we were allowed to near the waves that were crashing against the causeway. 

None of us wanted to go back as we could have stayed there longer...much, much longer. But, we were happy to go and get ice creams (had a Delicious Calipo). 

As the Sun was setting gently over the horizon, I tucked into a home made pizza at the pub/hotel.

Goodnight
Finn (McCool)
