Walking the Giants Causeway, Northern Ireland

IMG_5137

We took the “ordinary” path for travellers doing a road trip across from Scotland to Ireland.

An early morning departure from Glasgow, driving down the highways to Cairnryan; ferry across from Cairnryan to Belfast; One night in Belfast then a trip to the Giants Causeway as we moved south.

An “ordinary” path filled with extraordinary sights, however.

Welcome to one of the most beautiful places on earth (in my official opinion): The Giants Causeway.

I have this idea that you can’t really get a feel for a country’s culture without heading out of the main cities or tourist places.

I feel like cities are kind of, at their very heart, quite the same around the world (with their own flair, of course), but the countryside can really show you want the country is really like.

That’s why I was so excited to be heading to the small village of Tordi Sagar as part of the G Aventures tour I was on – I thought it would be such an incredible experience.

I was right. It was.
