On to Belfast

 This is as we left the Giant's causeway and looking back to a castle ruin.  We also drove down to the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge but it was closed so we couldn't walk over.This spans a 60 foot gap between the mainland and the island with a 100 foot drop.  --Next time :)

We stayed here at the Glenmore House in Ballycastle. -Very Nice-        The difference I was told between a guest house and bed and breakfast is that a guest house has to serve meals.  This is stated as a B&B on the card because Ireland is going through new regulations and the reguests are unnecessary and expensive. So many are not willing to keep the upgrade status even though they will continue as they were.

 We are driving right along the ocean as you can see. Just beautiful.

 Sometimes it was a little scary for David especially when the buses were coming the other way.  (It was definitely scary for me!)  There is no place to stop so most of my pictures are from the car while we are moving.

 This is Carrickfergus Castle 10 miles northeast of Belfast. This was the only English speaking town in Ulster in the start of the 17th century. The slide below has some of the history. But what is doesn't show is the piece that in 1778 John Paul Jones, the American navel ship, won over the British warship HMS Drake. The inhabitants on shore cheered Jones on as the ship passed the castle to show theier support for the American Revolution.

It was really windy and the sailboats in the harbor was actually going backwards..It was so strange to see  that ,I video recorded it.  Now on to Belfast.
