All right. Enough of the mushy stuff (previous post)...on with the show...
Ok Ok, I finally arrived at the Giant's Causeway. In the rain. Bugger.
Now, just to set the scene. Almost everyone I ran into on the Irish trip asked "Have you seen the Giant's Causeway yet?"! Even HOS asked. Everyone asked.
So, let's just say I rocked up with a sense of major anticipation. I had no idea what was there, all I knew was there were "rocks". And sportsfans, that's what there is. Rocks. In pentagon and hexagon shapes, all joined together like a traditional patchwork quilt or an Escher drawing!!
I have to say I found the whole thing fairly underwhelming. No offence to the Irish, but really, if we're talking rocks...well, I don't like to brag, but Australia has some bloody good ones.
Sooooooooooo anyway...I walked over them, around them, up them and down them, walked along the long path to see The Giant's Boot (pic 8), then The Organ (pics 9 & 10), and all around to the Amphitheatre (no pics of that). The order of the pics above is the order of what you see as you tread the Giant's Causeway.
Now, there is a whole story to why it's called the Giant's Causeway, a whole fable fairytale thing. Yes well. I don't know what it is! Instead, all I know is that the rocks were formed in this shape due to volcanic rock cracking blah blah blah.
Anyway, enjoy the pics. They look good.
Oh, and the last pic there is my lunch after the walk...oh myyyyyy, now that was spectacular...toasted soda bread sausage and bacon sanger!! YUM.
