Northern Ireland – Belfast thru Derry

The coastal coach ride from Belfast took us through some beautiful seaside villages and gorgeous countryside farmlands. We had an extensive stop at the Giant's Causeway, the most remarkable geological formation we have seen. Each rock is naturally hexagonal. They seem piled on top of one another, but have been formed that way. Take a look at a few pictures below:
