Northern Ireland: Giant's Causeway (with video)

I took the bus from the Europa Bus Center in Belfast to go to the Giant's Causeway. It takes one hour and a half to get there. The funny thing is that if you buy the ticket before 9:05 in the morning it's more expensive than if you buy it after 9:05 and the later ticket also allows you to take all the buses you want during the entire day which is really practical if you want to visit the city when you come back or want to stop on the way. 

 

The Giant's Causeway has something like 40000 basalt columns resulting from an ancient volcanic fissure eruption, which is an impressive sight. It is one of the main tourist attraction in Northern Ireland. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 1986 and a national nature reserve in 1987. It's a nice place to visit and you can also climb on everything which is a lot of fun. Then there is a walk around to go to the top of the cliff and have an over all view of everything. 

 

According to legend, the columns are the remains of a causeway built by a giant. The Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill was challenged to a fight by the Scottish giant Benandonner. Fionn accepted the challenge and built the causeway across the North Channel so that the two could meet. Then the story goes that either Fionn defeated Benandonner or avoided the fight by ruse, scaring Benandonner away. Benandonner destroyed the causeway when he fled back to Scotland.
