Talk about the road less travelled..........5th May

We were on our own for much of today - just as well as the roads were very very narrow - no more than country lanes really. Left in light rain and very low cloud and headed out to seethe cliffs at Sliabh Liag. Very impressive cliffs they were, as have been all our cliff sightings. So we left Ireland today and headed for Nothern Ireland (United Kingdom) to what Gary has been looking forward to - the Giants Causeway. Once we reached the Causeway Coast we passed through the very busy towns of Portstewart and Portrush - it is the Bank holiday weekend and everyone is out and about. Had a devil of a time finding a bed for the night - the traffic was horrendous so we made our way up into the hills and found a lovely B&B. Grace and Wally insisted on making us a cuppa - Grace's home made slices and coffee cake were delicious. They told us it would be far wiser to see the Giants Causeway first thing in the morning - fewer crowds.


This was the only way to our B&B - and yes the side
mirrors are turned inwards

Our lovely B&B in Killybegs


Narrow lanes were the go today

 Sliabh Liag cliffs shrouded in thick fog



The White Cliffs on the Causeway Coast

More of the rugged causeway coast 
The remains of Dunlace Castle
The view from our B&B - they just love their
relocatable homes over here

Ou home for the night in Dunlace, Bushmills, Causeway

These sheep were across the road from our B&B - very
aware of me

This little one was looking for mum

 Big day tomorrow - Giants Causeway and then off to Belfast for 2 nights.
