The Giant's Causeway

Today was our first of two final free days to end our stay here in NI. We got up early this morning to catch the antrim coaster up north to the "8th natural wonder of the world": The Giant's Causeway. If you haven't been, you should go! It's an absolutely beautiful shoreline site of naturally formed basalt rock from slow cooling lava over many centuries to create almost perfectly symetrical hexagonal shapes stacked one on top of another. The combination of the high cliffs and the crashing waves was...well, it leaves me at a loss for words.
It was quite a day hiking around the site and spending over 6 hrs in the bus going and coming, but what a day to remember!
Peace,
Ang
