Salam...bersua kembali setelah lama tak bersiaran.
Kepenatan dari berjalan-jalan di London masih belum hilang... hari ni kami akan explore Belfast,capital city of Northern Ireland.As we all know,unlike Republic of Ireland (Southern Ireland)...Northern Ireland ni adalah sebahagian dari United Kingdom.
Kami breakfast agak lambat hari ni...pukul 10.30 pagi...all of us naik bas untuk pick up second car di Dublin Airport.
 |
| Dublin Airport ke Belfast sejauh 157 km |
Pemanduan mengambil masa hampir 2 jam...termasuk few stops.Jalan lancar...cuma agak confusing,bila kena prepare 2 sets of currency..Euro & pounds.Tol2 & petrol station dalam Republic of Ireland..pakai Euro..sebaik saja masuk sempadan Northern Ireland...guna pound pulak (saki baki duit dari London masih ada).
Oleh kerana hujan,kami terpaksa cancel plan untuk round-round Belfast City.So,terus pm our airbnb owner ...tanya samada kami boleh check in awal.The hosts (husband and wife) are very kind...they are highly rated and are chosen as superhosts by Airbnb customers.. They let us to check in 2 hours earlier as the house was ready.

Airbnb ni terletak di Ballymena town
|
Tuan rumah stay next door.
After lunch at airbnb,we were ready to explore Belfast...our first destination was...
The Dark Hedges
Shooting location for Games of Thrones.
The Dark Hedges ni berasal pada kurun ke 18 lagi. Masa tu Stuart family ni tanam beberapa baris beech trees konon-konon untuk impress pelawat-pelawat yang datang ke rumah agam mereka iaitu Gracehill House..
Little did the Stuart family know that their driveway would be so popular 2 centuries later!

The most photographed location in Northern Ireland
|
Sebenarnya..ia terletak di sepanjang Bregagh Road di antara perkampungan Armoy dan Stranocum. ..
 |
| Tips- datang awal,sebab menjelang tengahari banyak tour bus...very crowded..susah nak amik gambar.. |
 |
| Lined with beech trees twisted branches forming an arch over the road makes it so eerily beautiful. |
 |
| 'Dark Hedges is just a short road surrounded by farmer's fields |
Carrick-a-rede Rope Bridge
Perjalanan dari Dark Hedges ke Carric-a-Rede was very scenic!
 |
| Kami ke Rope Bridge (Carrick-a-Rede) dulu...pas tu baru ke Giant's Causeway |
Pada zaman dulu,nelayan-nelayan menyeberangi jambatan untuk ke Pulau Carrick a Rede (untuk tangkap ikan)
Angin sangat sejuk dan kuat..our girls tak pakai wind breaker.So,we decided that the girls just stayed around the parking area...
Later we found out,the bridge entrance ditutup kerana cuaca tak baik.Emmm..takde rezeki nak rasa bergayut kat jambatan gantung ni..hu hu
Few snaps around parking area....

| Carrick-a-Rede |
Ireland's most famous landmarks...terkenal dengan batu-batu unik yang terjadi akibat letusan gunung berapi.
Sebenarnya ,entrance ke Giant Causeway ni percuma jer...yang kena bayar tu,kalau nak masuk ke visitor centre.Ramai gak yang terpedaya dan bayar £11.50/adult sebab signage kat situ memang misleading.
Hiking to Giant Causeway the long way...akan memberi anda pengalaman yang mengujakan dan tak ternilai...Kalau tak nak trekking,you can take bus down and back for only £1/adult..it saves a bunch of time and effort.Tapi,masa kami sampai..dah petang sangat...waktu operasi bas dah tamat.
 |
| Full trekking ni mengambil masa 2 jam..sejauh 7.2 km |
 |
Batu-batu unik sejak zaman purba  |
Malamnya,kami dinner & tidur saja di airbnb..selepas seharian menjelajah..Esok,nak gerak balik ke Dublin.
