This morning started with a walking tour of Derry / Londonderry led by our local guide Ronan. He took us along the top of the old town wall, down some of the streets and into the Guild Hall which has been beautifully rebuilt since being blown up by the IRA. We then had some time to wander by ourselves and we spent some time in the Bogside area where there have been a lot of fascinating murals painted on the sides of buildings as a reminder of the troubles that have occurred here in the past.
Next, we drove on the the spectacular Giant's Causeway. We walked a few hundred metres down to the causeway, took in the view with hundreds of other visitors, and then caught a shuttle bus back to the visitor centre where we had some lunch.
We continued along the north coast to a park about 5km west of Ballycastle, where we could see views across to Scotland and the Mull of Kintyre as well as a small island called Carrickarede Island which is connected to the mainland by a small rope bridge.
We continued along the very scenic Antrim Coast, with the road sometimes right along the water's edge until we reached our accommodation for the night at the Ballygally Castle Hotel.
