Northern Ireland tour

Today we did a Nothern Ireland tour to Belfast, the giants causeway and carrick a rede rope bridge. We woke up at 6 and had cereal for breakfast. Got  to the bus stop at 6:50 and got really confused because a heap of bus companies picked up from here. However we found a girl from Taiwan with the same tickets as us and then asked around. The first bus that came was full so we got on the second bus. We sadly chose seats that were in the sun so we were in the sun the whole day. 

Our tour guide was great. He was an Irish local who was well travelled having visited Australia, new Zealand and Brazil along with heaps of other places. He was a very charismatic and informative guide and gave us a huge amount of backstory to the Irish rebellion before we reached Belfast. The Irish rebellion war against the English was horrific and he also explains d how Belfast is split into Catholics and protestant people. The catholics in general want Ireland to be its own country where as the protestant think that Ireland is part of the UK. 

At Belfast we went on a black cab tour around the city and get more details about what happened in dublin and how many many many people died. It was all a bit scary that this happened and it was all very sad. effected us both. 

Next stop we went to the giants causeway. I rock formation made by lava cooling really slowly. It was lively to see and a nice walk around. Got some lovely pictures. 

Next we went a rope bridge. The bridge was cool although neither of us found it particularly scary. The highlight however was that in the little Island on the other side of the bridge there was puffins!!! I love puffins and bini finally got to see them. 

Went back to the bus and arrived back in dublin at 8:30 had pre made frozen pizza for dinner and had another lovely chat with the couple we were staying with. Fully packed and were ready for our early flight tomorrow.
