Northern coast of Ireland April 15th

Woke up earlier this morning, we were headed off on a bus tour to the north part of Ireland, where we will be seeing the Dunluce castle, the Carrick rede rope bridge and the Giants Causeway. 

We left Belfast on a tour bus driving along the coast again which was so beautiful! Our tour guide/ bus driver Derek was absolutely hilarious! It was too funny also when we were driving back into Belfast and he was thanking everyone for the day and the tour and he said "also to the lady in the back with the awesome laugh! I loved it!! I wanna hear that laugh everyday!!" .... He was talking about Lori obviously cause she laughs like a coyote... But the funny part is she wasn't sitting at the back. SHE WAS SITTING AT THE FRONT. That's how loud she was being! 

It was such a great tour! We stopped outside of the Dunluce castle outside of Belfast and got the chance to take pictures of it, then our next stop was the Carrick rede rope bridge which was so much fun!! We got to walk along the high hills overlooking the ocean below, and then we walked across the rope bridge hanging 100ft above the ocean! So cool! 

After the rope bridge we were off to the Giants Causeway! It's hard to explain I have pictures posted below of what it is. It's a natural wonder of the world, and basically it's millions of different rocks and stones of all different sized and some colours and they are right off the ocean. So not the best example but if you want to know more google it! It's so cool and worth googling for sure! 

After the Giants Causeway we were headed back to the city and got to drive back this time along the country fields of Northern Ireland! Again so so beautiful! 

When we got back we went out for supper and got to talking with the owner of the restaurant we were at, very nice and very interesting older gentleman! He told us about his experience with the civil war in Ireland. And if that mans stories were true which I really believe they were I knew little next to nothing of what was going on in Ireland only 30 years ago! 

After our supper and conversations with the owner we headed back to the b&b and along the way stopped at a pub for a few more drinks, then back to sleep and get ready for the last day of our trip :(
