Our Day in Northern Ireland

Today we crossed the boarder into Northern Ireland. We went into Derry for a walk around the city. We walked along the wall that was built to protect Londonderry in the 1600's as it was a major trade route. The wall still remains today. Residents voted to knock it down as it causes traffice congection but it was rejected.

The painting on the wall showing Derry constant struggle.

The view from the wall.

The canons that were used during the many seiges in Derry.

We then went to the Giant Causeway. These are giant cliffs that were formed from numerous volcanic erruptions. The view from the top was amazing but extremely windy and cold.

Looking down again.

Standing down on ground level. It feels alot safer down here.

Me trying to show you the size of the cliffs. But I actually look bigger.

The rocks around the botton of the cliffs have worn away into hexigon shapes from the water and make odd stepping stone formations.
