Day 5
We don't get started as early as we intended but it's the earliest we have gone out all week. Its almost a 2 1/2 hr drive to the Giants Causeway, I didn't have the postcode so try out the speech recognition on my phone navigation app I was very surprised it worked first time. We stopped at a very colourful roadside cafe for a coffee/breakfast/toilet break David stayed in the car as he still wasn't awake yet. An hour later and we had reached our destination. It is warm and very windy and we have a pleasant, short walk down to the shoreline. When we reach the stones David has reached 100% activation and is away bounding from stone to stone, think mountain goat in leather jacket, stopping every so often for me to catch up and take a photie. My mum follows the path not wanting to fall on the slippery rocks. David gets a shower as he tries to get to the furthest point in the sea without falling in. A little later he is perched on high outcrop. David does a lot of running about here and we loose sight of him on several occasions.
When we leave the causeway we take a short trip to Dunluce castle, a little further along the coast. I have a little walk around the outside then decide I need a rest before the drive back. As I shut my eyes in the car David and my Mum go for a walk inside the very exposed castle and it starts to poor down with rain, I pray they don't get wet then try to have a nap. With children shouting, car doors slamming and rain pounding on the window its not really possible to sleep. Some time later they return a little damp my mum remarks that the high walls shelter them from most of the rain.
We finish the day with a cooked breakfast, no confused people here!
Any good chances of atmospheric photos at Dunluce? Sounds as if it might have been too wet :-(
ReplyDeleteI took some photies before it rained and David seems to have taken a lot, not had chance to go through them yet though.
