Our trip to Northern Ireland consisted of two parts - cities and countryside. We had our loyal little Polo with us (aka Polly) so we had the chance of going around seeing different parts. We really liked it! Rugged coastal lines and inland that is as green as ever!
When we first got to Belfast it was (unfortunately) raining, so we decided to start with the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum. Very nice. And I found a new path - think the uniform fitted me quite well so am clearly thinking of changing careers. Especially if I can work for a company that have the word Morgan in its name...

When we got out of the museum the rain had stopped, so we went south to Scrabo Tower, a very prominent land mark.
We kept on driving. The castle were as often numerous. The one below was fairly small but quite nice.
As the first night came creeping on we tried to capture the dramatic skies!
The day after we started our journey towards Belfast. On the way we saw many picturesque places...
...and of course numerous lambs.
One of the most important castles in Northern Ireland is Enniskillen. Below Maria is playing around...
After driving around south of Belfast we went to see Belfast for a couple of days. After that we went along the northern coast towards Derry. This is where you find the most famous landmarks of Northern Ireland so lots to see!
Carrick-a-rede Rope Bridge
Giant Causeway. Legend has it that it was created as the giant Finn MacCool decided to provide a path to Scotland to engage in battle with a rival Scottish giant by the name of Benandonner. In any case, it was a magnificent place!
On Boa Island we we searched and searched for the Caldragh cemetery, which has two double faced figures of which little is known. Not easy to find - the cemetery is small and easy to miss. But we made it!
Finally, before stopping in Derry for the night we randomly drove by Dunluce Castle. As we like castles we decided to stop and while there we decided for wait for the sun to set.
