Holiday in the Hut
Aug. 27th, 2005 10:09 pmWe didn't go to the beach so much this time because the weather was worse still. We went back to the Giant's Causeway and walked along the cliff path. We paid to go into Dunluce this time. It was pretty good. There's a whole 17th century manor house on top of the rock with courtyards and a garden and an old loggia and everything. They shut the exhibition a bit early though. They had a model I wanted to see again. On the way up and down we did the coast road and Murlough Bay (very sheltered for being where it is; Mammy thought it looked like a Greek island. There was a dead sheep on the path and there was a car whose engine was overheatig with a perceptible burning smell), Torr Head (very rocky and bleak; a hut that apparently belong to Lloyd's the shipping people on a rocky promontory) and Glenariff (spectacular river and waterfalls; very damp both underfoot and overhead). The coast road is cool because you can see Scotland: Islay and Jura, Kintyre and Ailsa Craig of course, and a few other Hebridean fragments we couldn't place.
