June 17th.
Cab waiting at 5:30 to take me to tour bus to go to the causeway. I get into taxi and gave address. Taxi driver asking general questions such as plans while in Ireland, where was rest of company…general tourist questions…I told him taking tour to Causeway and Belfast…a few minutes before we got to my stop he said that he would just take off work and take me to Belfast and be my company. I wouldn’t have to pay anything…(yeah I bet)..I politely no thank you I’ve done paid for tour and they are waiting for me…(yeah Im sure he believes that one) Before I got out of cab he told me that if I want any ride anywhere, he wont charge for me….(Im afraid what I would have to pay). Thank you…BYE
When I got out for the tour….I was on time. 
Everytime I go on one of these tours I feel like I should be wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a fanny pack.
But on this tour I met a friend named Chiara a young lady from Sicely. We hung out together and had a good time. We first stopped off at the Dark Hedges featured in Game of Thrones….
Next we made it to Carrick-a’rede bridge…a 400 yr old swinging bridge over cliffs and water…the walk to the bridge was over a half of mile plus 100 of steps…easy going down. When I got to bridge I kept my camera in my hand and used 1 finger to snap pictures while holding on all the way across bridge. At times because of wind it felt like someone was stomping behind me. After I made it across the other side had amazing views to take pictures. Going back across the bridge the wind had gotten stronger….but I made it.
Now came the hard part,trekking back up all those steep steps and hillside. I used excuse to anyone behind me that I needed a picture of that, while panting like a racehorse.l
After I made it back to bus, we continued on to lunch then The Giant Causeway. It was absolutely stunning…Chiara and I took numerous pictures and had a good time.
After there we made it to Belfast. We only had a little over an hour and half to explore. I explored a little till I found a cool souvenir shop.
Dragging a big bag back to bus we headed back to Dublin. The bus driver dropped us off at a different location by 1 street. Well this screwed me up severely. I walked and walked and went through college party central, where at this creek area were masses of student having a guinness party…per papers next day it was wild!.
I walked along bridge trying find the bus stop that has my bus I take…seen 2 women fighting…then 2 men jumped into it trying to break them up(bad choice) then 2 men got into it but they stopped and then girls went back at it….Saturday night! 4.25 miles of walking Im right back where I started. Found bus stop and rode to my place.
After bus lets me out I have to walk around block in dark…I seen a dog, no wait…cat walking across rode. I could see it clearly now…it was a good size fox. Needless to say I made it to my place in record time!
