My whole life I have anticipated a trip to the 'auld sod' and as we took the ferry from Scotland to Northern Ireland, a sense of calm settled over me. This was the last country on our trip, the grand finale before our return back home.
Our first day in Northern Ireland, we took a day trip down the coastal causeway.
Our first stop was Carrick-A-Rede, a rope bridge perched on the cliffs of Northern Ireland. Since it was the height of tourist season, we waited a cool 15 minutes to cross the famed rope bridge (and spent 5 pounds each for the pleasure). Fortunately, the view while we waited was one for the history books.

What a wonderful journey to make and what weather!! How you will cherish the memories and the beautiful photographs.
oooh lucky you!
We are so deserted here in Australia, everything is SO far away!

Spectacular pictures, and certainly worth the wait! I am glad you were able to make that trip and see the place where your family originates from.
How wonderful to have the opportunity to visit the "home land". My ancestry is from Ireland too, and although I live in Scotland, I've never visited! Must rectify that soon!

I'm very envious of your honeymoon. So many destinations I've been yearning to visit.

What gorgeous pics of a lovely part of the world. Did you get to the Giant's Causeway too.. Jx
What a great post, I do so hope to see Ireland one day!
What a great photo of the two of you and how very happy you both look.
This is so, so lovely. The photos make me want to visit these places, too. The photo of you and Rob makes me smile. I am lucky to get to work with him every day...looking forward to getting to know you better, too. Thanks for a peaceful blog visit at the end of my day.
You were brave. I made it half way across the rope bridge, froze, and then had to be half carried the rest of the way.( I'm terrified of heights despite being 6ft 2"! )My brother married in Ballycastle and we spent a wonderful week probably following a similar route to you. Rope bridge, Bushmills, giants causeway. Fantastic
