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 a thing but it was great to talk to the locals. The next stage of our Road Trip took us through Ballycastle, passed the Dunseverick Castle and headed down to the Giants Causeway. This place was absolutely picturesque; the site was indescribable volcanic ash that had eroded the soil to make hexagon pillars form on the coastline. Back on the road and headed down to Portrush and then onto Balleymoney where we were staying at a Bed & Breakfast Villa, quite outstanding. Had a great Barossa wine with take out for dinner then had an early night. What a great
way to end the day.
