Antrim Travel Blogs

Background: Great Britain, the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two World Wars. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of its integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latter is suspended due to bickering over the peace process.

I’ve just been to check in the mirror to see if I’m turning green. I’m feeling so Irish today that I think I’m going to have to write this blog to the sound of an irish jig… Yes… I can see it now!!! … ahem … *cue fiddley-type music with a tin flute and a concertina, good for toe tapping or swinging a knacker lass ‘round a room… as I swing a big green hat on, cock me right eye and light me bac-heater!” THE IRELAND SONG - To be sung in a Belfast accent I’d loike te say that everythin’ [View Full Entry]

Fishy Abble Joozing
The Daily Takings
Giant Egg vs. Normal! Ouch!

We drove to Troon to catch the Ferry across to Ireland, to a place called Larne. We then headed north along the Antrim Coast, North East of Ireland on our way to see the Giant’s Causeway. The drive along the coast was stunning and every chance we got we stopped and took photos, just breathtaking scenery. Went through a small fishing village called Ballygalley, found out that the word Balley means........ “Place of”. The next village was Cushendal, had lunch and went exploring. Walked down to watch a local couple fish off the rocks along the coast, they had not caught [View Full Entry]

Today I had to get up early for a full day tour up to the Antrim Coast 150 miles away. Not as early as Thomas who got up at 430 am but still. Got up in the morning with Tobias because he had to leave just as I did anyways on his way to work today. I made sure I had all the necessities for the weather and what not. You never really know with the weather. Got myself a Timmy's coffee can you believe they have it here!! Thomas says its his favorite as well and hopes that his friends [View Full Entry]

I went to Belfast the other day with some traveler friends. I usually don't like to do tours, but they really wanted to take one and convinced me that I should go. I am glad I did, it was worth it. We took a tour from Belfast to Derry to Giants Causeway and a few other places. What ·I liked best about the tour was listening to the history of Northern Ireland. I wasn't completely ignorant to what had happened there, but I was not an expert by any means. Since I don't want to sit here and write it all [View Full Entry]

This is a side story from “4 Days and 3 Nights around Ireland” which will be published shortly. For those of you who know me, which again is most of you, I do not do well with fear. I have always had an incredibly vivid imagination so when I’m put into a situation that looks remotely spooky or even worse I’m shown something horrifying, I will be in nightmare land for days. Well, on the car ride from our B&B at the Brown’s to finding a wee bit of nourishment we spooked ourselves silly. First of all, Brian and I had [View Full Entry]

Brian is next on the haunted mansion wall

Today was a bit more of a lazy day, though it was good! I got up a little later than usual, but made it to breakfast before it ended with 2 minutes to spare. Whew! Gotta get that free toast and tea! I hung out for a bit, not doing a whole lot, and waiting for my friend Jenni, so that we would walk into the city centre together. I was going for info on what to do this afternoon, and she was looking for a pin that said Belfast, or Northern Ireland. She left me at the info centre, so [View Full Entry]

ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA…….. Today the sun decided to shine and finally we can go to the Giants Causeway! Last night we went to an Italian and both had pizza. Both of us were unable to finish our meal after all we had eaten that day so we decided to take it with us and have it today. Portrush, where we are staying, is a sea-side town full of amusements, slot machines, guesthouses and chippers. The beach stretches for what seems likes miles to another beach called White Rocks. This beach has a ‘blue flag’ and seems to be very popular. This morning [View Full Entry]
