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.
Saturday Day Tour
On Thursday Margaret, our cantact person in Dublin, asked us if we wanted to make a day tour to Glendalough, Wicklow and Kilkenny. So I wrote a mail to all and collected all OKs. A day after Margaret booked the tour for us.
Today in the morning we started short after 8 o’clock and headed to Nassau Street to the bus stop. There were already some people at the sign for our tour. After a few minutes 2 busses arrived at the bus stop and the coordinator told us that our group will take the 2nd bus. The guide of our bus told us some nice things about Dublin and the county around Dublin. We were on the way to Wicklow and the awesome landscape of Glendalough. It is totally different to the rest of Ireland.
Totally breathtaking.
The next destination of our tour was Kilkenny with it’s also awesome castle. I didn’t went in but the view around the castle was also nice. A huge park is behind the castle were you can relax. Sadly I didn’t managed to go to the cathedral because we were a bit in a hurry.
But one thing in Kilkenny totally made my day. There is a little shop at the river. I didn’t went in but I still wonder what I could buy there.
At around 18:00 we arrived in Dublin and went back to our apartements.
