Carrickfergus, Giant's Causeway & Rope Bridge

The first day was rough... we arrived after an overnight flight and were exhausted.


But we pressed on and decided to get a full day of sightseeing in anyway. We stayed at this quaint little B&B in Carrickfergus, a town in Northern Ireland on the coast.


After getting our bags situated, we made our way in to Belfast for the afternoon, where downpours greeted us. Nothing like walking around in the POURING rain (in a foreign city) with a raincoat, backpack, and no map.


We drug our exhausted selves back to the B&B for dinner and a long night's sleep. The next morning, after a ridiculous shower that consisted of frigid water and then "burn your skin off" hot water as Jenny put it, we continued on the coastline to head to the rope bridge.

The water was crystal clear and the cows were close enough to sweet-talk... but the rains came down again.

Not as hard this time, but enough. After that, we traveled over to the Giant's Causeway, which was an unbelievable rock formation- where Lava met the frigid waters, it created these hexagonal pillar-things.

And then we went to pick up suzanne.
