Tourist Tour

This weekend was the most awesome that we had here in Belfast. The sun still shining the whole days without any clouds. So we (altogether 8 persons) decided to make a tourist trip to the Giant’s Causeway. This is declared a UNESCO World Heritage and is a very famous place of interest. The tour started in the morning at 9:15 a.m. in a very small and uncomfortable bus. But this bus drove us only to the right bus and started with a little delay. First short stop was at Carrickfergus a few miles northern of Belfast to visit the Carrickfergus Castle. Nothing very special. The female busdriver and tourist guide in one told us a lot about the sights at the tour. A very important tourist stop was at the north coast: Carrick-a-Rede. This rope bridge links the mainland to a tiny island.  The next big stop was the Old Bushmills Distillery. Here I bought something for someone. Then we arrived wet through with perspiration thanks to the bad air condition in the bus the final target: Giant’s Causeway. Here you can see a lot of hexagonal stones which are arranged like a puzzle. This is a very amazing place because the incurrence is unknown. At the evening we arrived sunburned and exhausted in Belfast. Overall a great and interesting tour.

Our coast trip

Hey!

During the last week, Tobi, Tim, Oli and me decided to hire a car for the weekend and see something of Northern Ireland’s beautiful landscape. Saturday, Tim and Oli got the car — which was advertised as a VW Passat on the website and turned out to be a Vauxhall Zafira — and picked up Tobi and me. We used the chance to go to a Lidl, which is some miles away from our apartment.

Today, our journey brought us to Giant’s Causeway, the Bushmill Distillery, and the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. We took a lot of pictures, unfortunately I can’t upload all of them, but here are at least some of them. We used the selftimer to take one of the pictures..We put my camera and Tim’s on the roof of the car and after taking the photo, I took my cam back into the car..Tim did not..so his camera had some fresh air for about one mile..We looked very surprised when we got out of the car and spotted Tim’s camera..

The impressions were just amazing..So have a look…
