So we left Dublin early in the morning to avoid the traffic and made our way up north again to visit Slane.
We were told by Matt and Angela to visit a hill with a view of the countryside and was a perfect sunny day so the views were spectacular. There was a freezing cold wind though, so we didn’t stay long.
We went past Slane Castle but it was closed for renovations.
So we picked up a car and headed north to drive along the coast, which was great. There wasn’t many cars and heaps of awesome scenery. We didn’t go to the The Dark Hedges but saw some cool roads like it in the area.
Our first tourist stop was Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. The rope bridge itself was pretty tame and unexciting (the lady crossing behind us was freaking out), but the coastal scenery was pretty epic.
We flew into Belfast and got a bus in to the city and then to check into our hostel. Everywhere was really booked out in Belfast, and we were only able to book a 10 person dorm at Vagabonds. We found an awesome burrito place for lunch that was a cross between subway and GyG. It was good being back in an English speaking country again, although Rachael still really struggled to understand what we were ordering with the accent which was pretty funny.
