Northern Ireland

While we docked in Belfast. we did not visit the city, only the countryside, with the main event being a place called Giant's Causeway. This is a very unusual geological formation that looks like a series of pilings close together as you can see in this picture.

The formation is quite large and covers quite an area. We walked around just one point of the causeway. I got to climb a lot of rocks and ventured out to the point. The area had beautiful scenery and cliffs as shown here
After leaving Giant's Causeway, we headed into a small Irish town where we had an hour to talk around and have lunch. We found a nice cafe that served a great irish stew, then did some souvenir shopping. We then had a pleasant bus ride back through the beautiful Irish countryside back to the ship.
Back at the ship we found out that the dry dock where the Titanic was built was right next to our ship so we got a picture of that, then, since we were on the Lido deck, stopped by the Horizon buffet for a late afternoon snack before heading back to our cabin.
Tonight at supper I got my birthday cake after enjoying a nice salmon steak.
It was a very good day.
