The giants causeway was one of the sites I was looking forward to the most when I was researching Ireland. It looked so fasinating and it really was! The only downside was that it's a huge tourist attraction and the rocks were littered with people. It was hard to get a decent picture but it was still really neat to see, not to mention the weather was gorgeous! Kelley, and I found a nice spot away from everyone where we sat and watched the ocean. The sqeals of tourists were drowned out by the ocean waves which was great. I sat down on a couple of the rocks and was suprised with how comfertable they are! It was like sitting in your own sofa chair!
Now THIS was an incredible experience. Just up the road from our hostel was Carrick-a-rede Rope Bridge.Carrick-a-rede means 'rock in the road' and was built by fisherman to get from one rock to the other.We paid 5pounds to cross the bridge which was definatly worth it. The rope bridge rocked and bounced as you crossed it and it was pretty scary to look down. The water below was almost a light teal color and very magestic! On the other side was just a huge flat rock covered with the softest and bounciest grass i've ever felt! We walked up to the edge of the rock and had a nice relaxing and brief nap in the sun.
