Carnlough
Our second day in Belfast, after a good night's sleep, began with a tour to the Giant's Causeway, via several small towns. The first town was Carnlough, which is situated on a harbor. It is a cute town with a memorial to Paddy, the pigeon, that delivered messages during WWII and one time, and flew from Normany to his keeper in just over 4 hours.
It is also the site of one of the scenes from the Game of Thrones. Beautiful steps lead down to the harbor, and in the Game of Thrones scene, one of the actresses saves her own life by dragging herself up the steps. Not a very glamorous scene but apparently an important one!
We also purchased our lunches in Carnlough, and I will always remember the delicious Spanish grapes we purchased. Since we do not get grapes from Spain in the US, I don't know that I have ever eaten grapes from there, but now I have and wow! They don't get much better than that!
Then we loaded up the drove up the Coastal Highway to our next stop.
