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.

The Giant's Causeway

We left Kinbane Head in a very sunny day.

The Causeway was painted by brightly colours and thanks to some drops of rain, we had wonderful pictures to take!

Unfortunately, we did not have too much time to spent, because Derry/Londonderry was waiting for us.

Derry or Londonderry?

The reason why this city has two names is buried deep in history.
The official name is Londonderry, assigned by a Royal Charter in 1662. The original name was Derry, and it is mostly used by Catholic and Republic of Ireland people.

The walk around the walls of the old city, reveals the history of the city in its young days.
The walls demonstrate their effectiveness during the Siege of Derry.
The motto of loyalist motto “No surrender” comes from these days, when 13 apprentice boys shut the gates of the city against the oncoming army.
The city eventually capitulated to the army, but still this story is impressive of the courage of inhabitants of Derry.

No Surrender!

However, hundreds of years later, other citizens fought for their freedom, and the old rebels became the antagonists.
The motto was taken by the Loyalist during the Troubles.

The fighting for freedom is understandable. But terroristic attacks and repression of the free thought cannot be justified at all.

At the end they are both just wrong… and this is my thought.
