Another bright and sunny morning, we left the Fox and
Pheasant after breakfast (a light one for me, and a VERY full English Breakfast
for Mathew!), and we made our way to Stranraer in Dumfries and Galloway making
good time for the lunch time ferry crossing to Larne, just outside and north of
Belfast. We decided to buy lunch on the way and as we arrived with time to
spare, we ate it whilst waiting. This is the only ferry terminal where we have
had an announcement to say when boarding would start, a 'have a great trip'
from the guy waving the vehicles onto the boat, AND a further announcement on
the boat to say that they had a fully booked ferry crossing! I started of course with a hot chocolate from
the on board Starbucks, and the crossing itself was really calm.
Once in Northern Ireland, we made our way to the Causeway
Coast straight away, the weather still bright and sunny. The scenery on the way was quite spectacular,
I imagine the great weather helped! The
road took us along the edges of the Glens of Antrim and Antrim Hills so the
landscape loomed above us on one side as we looked out to sea on the other.
We soon arrived at our cottage which was literally up the
road from the Giant's Causeway. Here we would be staying for our first week in
Northern Ireland.
