Day 2: Northern Ireland

So today has been nonstop and we were up at 4:00am (that is 9:00pm yesterday for you guys) and got home around 10:00pm (3:00pm today for MST). We traveled to Northern Ireland, which is actually part of the UK. It was a beautiful drive up there and actually, the weather was fantastic! Our guide was telling us that the weather was better than most summer days. It was an outdoors day and we started out the day at this cool rope bridge that is actually within sight of Scotland. Here are some pictures and a video from there:





This is an unusual shot for the rope bridge because it is taken off of the bridge where there is nothing but a long drop into the Irish Sea. If you figured out how we took it, keep in on the down low.

After that we traveled on to what I had been looking forward to on the trip: Giant’s Causeway. It is an interesting legend on how it got the name, so be sure to ask us when you see us in the states. I love the shape of the rocks, because they formed in a hexagonal shape and rose up in pillars. Some people call it Ireland’s playground. It is right next to the ocean and the waves were calm and a deep, vibrant blue! Here are some pictures and another video from there:






We love each other!

This is a castle in Northern Ireland (one of many) that has long since been abandoned but I love the location of the castle.


We spent whole day getting history lessons and walking tours of the towns up North. We then traveled back and are getting ready for tomorrow. Cya!
