The sunrise before the End
This entry is part of a series, Northern Ireland 2010»
The final day of this great trip in Northern Ireland starts at the dawn.
Literally.
The sunrise from Kinbane Head
The clouds were gently covering the sky and the temperature was almost good.
After all it was August, not December.
Surfing the beaches

After a week, our vacations were almost gone.
With sadness inside our hearts, but full of beautiful memories, we left the Donegal County, and passed over Derry.
But the holiday was not over yet!
Surfing at Benone Strand
And neither were the beaches!
On the path of Troubles

Last day in Donegal, before coming back to Belfast.
Blessed by a sunny sky, we went for a decent visit of Derry/Londonderry.
Entering Free Derry
Except from being the “Walled City”, Derry does not have too much to sightsee.
However, you can always take a pleasant walk inside the old city, looking here and there, just for fun.
The rainy wood

When you are in Northern Ireland, it is better to use at the maximum the not-so-cloudy-to-rain days.
On Day 6, our destination was the Glenveagh National Park.
The road towards the Glenveagh National Park
This park is located in the heart of Donegal County, an hillside land, full of astonishing natural places.
At the center, the small Glenveagh Castle welcomes the visitors.
The Inishowen 100

It sounds like a race car, but the name “Inishowen 100” came from approximatively the distance (100 miles) of the road that run around the Inishowen Peninsula.
We did not afford to take all the way long, but still we had our 100 miles.
And they were the most beautiful 100 miles we had in Northern Ireland.

The Stones and the walled city

The disappointing bad weather in the causeway on day 3 was so high that we decided to come back again.
The sun on day 4 was shining all over the hexagonal stones of the Giant’s, and finally, the natural beauty of the Giant’s Causeway was revealed to us.

Steps of stone

The lucky to have a bright sky above our head, unfortunately, stood just one day.
After the gorgeous sunny in Cushendun, it wasn’t so beautiful the day after. But, hey, you are in Ireland, are you expecting nice weather? Forget it!
Steps over the stones
Not too bad, anyway, we head our steps on the Giant’s Causeway.
The Giant’s is one of the such place you imagine of when you are kid, as a far far away, magic place.
I remember when I was young, the story about the Irish warrior Fionn mac Cumhaill. Maybe not every kid imagine such things, but I always thought how cool would have been go there. And now, I did!

From the beach to the hill

Far from Italy indeed, but nothing is better than a sunny day on the beach. Thanks to one of the brightest blue sky in a month, we reached Cushendun.

As you may be aware of, I spent more than a month in Northern Ireland, mostly working.
But I had also a very nice trip with my girlfriend, around some of the most beautiful places. This is the log of this amazing journey 
Let’s start with a map.

In the above map, you should see the whole trip, divided in several trails. Each trail is the route (more or less) we drove in a day, so you can keep track of the trip ^_^
