The Giant's Causeway the house of Finn McCool

Driving along the coast eastwards from Castlerock we reached the Giant's Causeway, close to the city Bushmill. A according to the legend, the Causeway is the house of a badass giant called Finn McCool.

Arriving there we were welcome by such a beautiful view.

The entrance fee including guided tour including both fairy-tale-like and geological explanation of the origin of the Causeway is 4€.

Actually the Giant's Causeway was built by Finn McCool, for him to pick up a fight wit this other giant, who lived in Scotland. By realizing that the other guy was much stronger than him, he run away and tricked the other big guy.

After the Giant's Causeway we headed southwest to Sligo...next post :)

Cheers everyone!

The awesomeness of Northern Ireland

After Junior left to Dublin my friend Will arrived from England. Next day we started a road trip and headed up north aiming the Giant's Causeway.

Along the way we checked the Downhill House and the Mussenden Temple ant the cliffs close to the city Castlerock, in the county Londonderry.

"A place of an outstanding beauty"

That is one expects to see in Ireland: a great meadow and sheep.

Such an breathtaking view from the cliffs.

 Now to Bushmills and Giant's Causeway.

Cheers peeps!

Heading up north to Belfast

Now sitting in the bus and heading up north from Dublin to Belfast, capital of Northern Ireland.

We took the bus in the Dublin Bus Statio (Busáras) close to the Conolly Station in the very centre of Dublin. A single ticket costed 17€ and the journey will take almost 3 hours. There are buses from Bus Éireann (www.buseireann.ie) leaving every sharp hour every day of week. It makes an obligatory stop at the airport.

Plans for Belfast: sightseeing of course, Titanic museum, and meeting Will an heading further north to the Giant's Causeway. Excitied!

It feels very pleasant to see the green landscape passing by, sun shinning and blue sky.

Oops! Talked too soon. There comes the rain.

Cheers peeps!

Back on the island of green

Ready for the last trip in Europe before leaving it. Yes!

Soon I'll be leaving Germany after 13 years on the Germanic ground. But this is stuff for the next post. This one is intended to be the initial report about my last trip in European.

Destination, better, destinations are Ireland and Northern Ireland. Roaming around the island of green and meeting my bro Junior in Dublin, my friend Will in Belfast and the globetrotter Travis Elenytski somewhere along the way.

Besides Dublin and Belfast, the Giants Causeway, Sligo, Limerick, cliffs of Moher, lots of nature and the local beer are in the plan.

It sounds just perfect for a farewell trip in Europe. Excited! Yay!

That's me along the way!

Cheers!
