As promised, a photo of our airbnb last night. Our hosts are in the process of completely redoing a school house build in 1876. They are doing a great job; to be finished soon.
Lots of hiking today. First though, we drove the Antrim Coast, the northern most road in Northern Ireland. The views were a cross between the Napali Coast of Kauai and our own New England Coast. Volcanic and Limestone, steep cliffs and small towns. The two main attractions were the Giant’s Causeway and Carrik-a-Rede Rope Bridge. For those of you who have seen Devil’s Postpile by Mammoth, and/or walked on any rope bridge in any part of the world, save your money. Add in the same number of people on a typical summer weekend in Yosemite Valley and you get an idea how our day went. Pretty scenery but not a real keeper as far as new and exciting adventures.
This photo needs a bit of explanation. Our new camera will take multiple shots. I got this butterfly drawing nectar and bee flying in to poach.
We finished our day in Londonderry, another late meal. This time, since it was running close to 9:00, we swung into one of the few restaurants open on a Sunday night. A great Indian restaurant. Excellent. Not too much more narrative tonight. After midnight again, a full day tomorrow as we drive south out of Northern Ireland, back to Ireland and Galway for two more days of adventures.
