Last night we stayed in a fabulous B&B just out of Belfast. Iris and Ernie built the B&B on what as their dairy farm and you couldn't meet two better people to run a B&B. This morning we went into Belfast, and was surprised at how different it was to Glasgow/Edinburgh. There were lots more modern buildings than we expected. We walked around and then headed off up the coast to the Giant's Causeway, which is spectacular. From there was went to Bushmills Distillery, which is the oldest whiskey distillery in the world. We then headed for Londonderry and drove around until we found the wall (Derry is the only city left that the has the original walls around it). Today was quite a bit cooler than the previous few days, probably around 14 deg max. although at times the wind was cold, especially at he Giant's Causeway. I am still amazed at the scenery, and how it can change so quickly, from lush and green to rocky shore lines and then to quite desolate country, before it changes back to the green pastures again.
