Today we left Ireland and drove into Northern Ireland. But before that, we had a wonderful breakfast at Harvey’s Point. Including locally baked bread, a chef that prepared omelett on order, fresh orange juice etc. Something you would expect from a much more expensive accomodation. Check them out at https://www.harveyspoint.com (no, we don’t get any kick-back from this link!).
The first stop was still in Ireland, Malin Head. This is the most northern point on the island. Apart from a chaotic parking situation, it was s nice place to explore. We walked around the area for a while before we continued out journey.
We took the ferry from Greencastle to Magilligan Point. Once we entered Northern Ireland, we started to look for somewhere to eat lunch. The restaurant in Magilligan was closed. So was also several other restaurants that we passed. In the end, we ended up at a camping site where we found some Ceasar sallad which was ok.
After the lunch, we set off towards the Gigants causeway. As expected, the parking was fully occupied. So, we drove on to the dark hedges. Although they didn’t looked as impressive as they might to on film. It’s still worth a visit. Beware that the parking fee is 6 GBP at the moment which micht be a bit to much.
This nights hotel is Ballygally Castle Hotel. The room is great and so is the location and service. The restaurant isn’t so impressive though. We wanted to order some monk fish, but that was no longer available. So, we ended up with a dry hamburger instead.
Tomorrow we will be heading to Isle of Man!
