5:20am抵达都柏林机场。Terminal 1有行李寄存，6.75欧元一天。
搭6:20am的大巴去Belfast，来回票只要20欧元。

8:30am到Belfast的Europa Buscentre。

Belfast城里可看景点几乎为零，除了那个Black Taxi看当年爱尔兰共和军与英军冲突的场景和充满政治气氛的墙画。(没时间，没去。)

McComb's Giant's Causeway Tour 出发点在维多利亚广场购物中心，9:30am左右出发，晚上7pm左右回到Belfast。只要20英镑。

Giant's Causeway Tour
McComb's Travel offers visitors to Northern Ireland the longest established tour of what is commonly called "The eighth wonder of the world". Travel in one of our award winning coaches along the Causeway Coastal Route - one of world's 5 most spectacular drives!
Enjoy the first stop of the day at Carrickfergus Castle, before travelling onward to the main highlight of the tour - Giant's Causeway, Irelands only world heritage site. Spend some time climbing over the ancient stones, and visiting the untamed landscape before making a retreat to one of the tempting cafes or restaurants at the Causeway for lunch.
After you re-fuel at the Causeway, we will re-board our luxury coach to move on to the ancient ruins of Dunluce Castle for a quick photo, before moving on to the world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery at Bushmills. Here you can browse in the extensive gift shop, or make a visit to the bar to have a swift taste or two of the famous tipple!
The next stop of the day is the world famous Carrick-a-rede Ropebridge, where the brave among us can make the terrifying trip across the bridge that was originally erected by salmon fishermen. For those who prefer to keep their feet firmly on land, take one of the exhilarating walks, and enjoy the stunning views.

第一站是Carrickfergus Castle。很普通的一个城堡，不知道为什么要停留。

不要上那个城堡了，对着海发呆更有意思。

第二站是Carnlough, 一个美丽恬静的渔村。

第三站就是巨人之路。给了两个半小时停留。刚刚够吧，连坐下来吃饭的时间都没有。

从Visitor Centre到最远的Amphitheatre大概有两公里。

世界上的玄武岩地貌巨人之路(Giants Causeways)算是最漂亮的吧。

感觉上是世界尽头，其实还不如苏格兰的北部靠北。

说是4万根，觉得不止。

从那些石柱到悬崖有一段是有阶梯的，Shepherd’s Path, 162 steep steps。

悬崖上看下来的风光不错。

黄花烂漫。

从巨人之路出来，在Dunluce Castle稍作停留，拍两张照。

下一站是爱尔兰最老的酒窖Bushmills。能参观的就只有小卖部和酒吧。Whiskey比正常的英式拼法whisky多了个e。后来在机场买了两支回来。

最后一站是Carrick-a-rede Ropebridge。这里停了差不多一个半小时。从停车场到ropebridge有1.3公里。 在我眼里很普通的ropebridge，毫无惊险可言。门票要4.50欧元，不是太值。不走ropebridge是不用买票的。倒是四周风光旖旎。

Rope Bridge也就如此了，宽20米，深30米。

也是看海鸟的好地方。

回Belfast Europa Buscentre刚好过了7pm, 误了一班大巴。Europa Buscentre附近是歌剧院，难怪附近那么多绅士淑女。
