Northern Ireland - Antrim Coast

The next day we left Belfast and went on a guided taxi tour of the Antrim Coast in Northern Ireland. Our taxi driver, Nigel, was great and we got to see so many different places crammed into one day. Our first stop was Dunluce Castle.






We took a tour of the Bushmill's whiskey distillery, which was great, but didn't allow photography. Next was a quick lunch stop at the picturesque Ballintoy Harbor.



Our last stop before heading back to Belfast was the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. The views of the coast were gorgeous and even though the bridge itself is very high and shaky, crossing it was such a cool thing to do.


Looking down at our feet on the bridge, 100 feet up in the air.





Northern Ireland - Belfast

After spending a few days in Dublin, we took a very scenic train ride up to Belfast in Northern Ireland. We spent an afternoon walking around and exploring the different sights. First we walked to the city center and rode on the Belfast Big Wheel, a hug Ferris Wheel that had great views of the city.
