Seeing the Titanic's Inception Point: CRAZY! It's like history has come to life! (I have a habit of forgetting that things we learned in history were like... REAL.)
The only un-fun part of the Giant's Causeway was that they made us take a "tour" of it, and our tour guide was German and weird. But exploring them on our own was fun! Also, we were there with a bunch of kids from the schools in the Republic of Ireland, so they took us by Dunluce Castle (see 'Day Trip to the North Coast'), which we had already seen. So, while they were all getting pictures, we went back to the cafe we had went to before, and got some kick ass potato leek soup and bread, which pretty much made my day. The End.
