Next day Jim drove us up to the Giant's Causeway on the north coast. There are columns of 6 sided blocks caused when the volcanic rocks cooled and the rock cracked into it's crystalline shapes. Some are in tall columns, about 30 feet high and others have broken into slabs about 6" thick. These slabs are in steps leading down to the sea. It was a very interesting area. We then drove along the coast stopping at different viewing points. We could see Scotland in the distance including the Mull of Kintyre. We returned to Belfast via the Antrim coast where there are lots of beautiful inlets with mountains behind. The next day we drove south around a hugh sea inlet before crossing on a ferry to Newcastle. Returning to Belfast we joined Sharon and went to visit her mother, Phyllis for tea. Diane came too and we were looking at lots of old photos. Friday morning we walked around the city centre, visiting a display about the Irish revolution in the city hall before catching the plane home. I am only just recovering from the jet lag to update the blog.
