November 16th - Northern Ireland

16 of November
Today we packed up our stuff and drove to the giants causeway. This was an amazing creation created by a volcano. It is basalt hexagonal crystals made by the heating and cooling from the volcano. It was quite amazing to walk on it and the reason that it was called the giants causeway is because it looks like a stair way into the ocean for a giant. After walking around we went back to the car and drove to a rope bridge which went from the main land to an island just off the coast. It was used for fishermen but it's now used for tourists. It was lots of fun to cross but mum got a bit scared because of how high we were. It was a beautiful view on the island with the deep blue ocean and sheer cliffs. After returning from the rope bridge we drove on to a castle where we had to find different artefacts from the castle ruins. After finding all of the artefacts we drove to our next cottage. After a long time on the car we were glad to arrive it was a very small cottage but just big enough. We had a simple dinner and went to bed.
