We stayed around the northern coast for the first day, visiting the Giant's Causeway and Dunluce Castle. The next day we went to the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge!! It wasn't too terrifying, but had some really interesting history about the salmon fishing that used to take place there. We headed to Dublin and had a great evening of traditional Irish flavor complete with music and dancers!
The next day, my birthday, we toured Dublin in the morning, drove to Galway and got to walk along the beach at sunset. It was perfect, and then we had a fantastic meal, which just was the perfect end to the day. Thank you both for making my birthday such a special day. It was hard being away from friends and family at home, but this was just amazing and I am happy we got to spend that time together.
The next day we were up to explore the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren -- which is the area we were located in on our drive. The Cliffs were spectacular; a beautiful day well spent exploring the West Coast. Sadly, the next day was the end of the journey. We drove back to Coleraine, stopping at Drumcliffe where Yeats is buried for a quick break.
We said our goodbyes and got a little teary, but I will see everyone soon, so lets not be sad anymore! 4 weeks from yesterday I get to come home, and I honestly just can't wait. Love you all -- giving you my best, photos up of Hayley and me in London/Paris as soon as I can get the pictures loaded!! Love - Megan
I'll rearrange them soon, and add subtitles!
