UK Tour day - 7 Belfast to Galway

So yesterday was quite a long day I think around 11 hours with 6 hours of driving.

But before i get into that and I'm not sure if it was in the news but there was a riot between Police and members of the Orange Order on 15th around 10pm Tuesday.  This occurred  to the left of where i was on the peace wall.  Trouble usually breaks out, around the Orange parades which mark a 1690 Protestant victory over a Catholic king.

So now back to the nice stuff! Our first stop of the day was the Giant's Causeway. 

The Giant's Causeway (known as Clochán an Aifir or Clochán na bhFomhórach) is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient  volcanic eruption.

Then to Derry now this is still a strong Catholic and Protestant feel in the town. There are walls separating religions and the photos below are of the bloody Sunday memorial and the hunger strike memorial. 

After a pitstop, where I ate croque monsieur, we then continued our way to Galway.

So last night we went into Galway for dinner and a bit of Irish dinner.
