The morning misty fog, reminiscent of a time long ago…… actually 2 days ago, is how this day began!! So we headed north where the elusive sun had been spotted! Leo, my guide, also known now as Leo ‘Finn McCool’ Leydon, the man who has all the knowledge, drove me to our next destination.

First stop, Derry. I ask, ‘what’s the difference between Derry and Londonderry?’. Leo, aka Finn says ‘nothing’. There you go, nothing! Seriously, he knows so much about all dates, times, wars, battles, kings, pawns, berserks. The guide we had actually looked to Leo when she quoted dates, stories and questions posed by others on the tour. I found the difference between Derry and Londonderry was if you were from the south of Ireland,  it was Derry.  Northern Ireland,  Londonderry. It’s on the border and each side thinks their name is the right name.

Off to the Giant’s Causeway. A long drive, also, not typically on this tour, actually NEVER on this tour, but Leo took me. Such a lovely guide! Another scenic drive along the coast to the Causeway. It is the remnants of a volcanic eruption that formed these huge columns as they cooled. Crashing waves, and stepping stones create a unique photographic opportunity.

See….that’s Leo!

Then the drive back to the B & B, stopped for dinner and a chat with the lovely girls at the local pub. Just like old friends!

By the way,  berserks as I mentioned earlier, is an Irish word, used to describe the drugged up (pawns, as in chess pawns) that we’re sent into battle first, so crazy on drugs they couldn’t wait to kick the shite out of the enemy, the bloodier the better, it didn’t matter if it was their own!
So lesson…..don’t do drugs!

Can I please keep her?….

Ugh, where are the sweaters…….

I find myself hoping rainy days always turn out like this!
