August Bank Holiday Weekend saw us head over to Belfast with Emma. Jackie drove up from Dublin to meets us. We spent our first day in Belfast, checking out the sights. Day 2 we started a road trip up the coast to the rope bridge, Giants Causeway and Bushmills, speinding our second night in Derry. In Derry we did a Derry Taxi Tour, learing about the region's past and present political and religious divisions. We then made our way back to Belfast, before heading back to London.
Belfast City Hall. We had great weather all weekend.
The Giant's Causeway, is an area of approximately 40,000 inerlocking basalt columns, resulting from an ancient volcanic eruprtion.
Emma, Shannon and Jackie at the giant's Causeway.
Mr Scared of Heights, Sean holding up the crowds at the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. Fishermen erected the bridge to Carrick-a-Rede island over a 23m-deep and 20m-wide chasm to check their salmon nets.
The beautiful Irish countryside.
The Free Derry Mural. The mural of the Battle of Bogside is visible to the right.
A mural depitcing the Civil Rights Movement.
The murals viewed form the top of the hill in Derry.
The girls sampling the local beverages.
Irish flag shots.
The Crown Liquor Saloon in Belfast, was refurbished in 1885 and is apparently a great example of a Vitcorian Gin House. The inside is pretty amazing, with elaborate tiling, stained glass and woodwork. Worth a look, despite not being the cheapest pub in town.
