Because of the causeway

I vaguely remember the first time I saw the Giant's Causeway on something like Blue Peter and being amazed by the geometric shapes. The thing was it seemed so very far away. As a child growing up in 1970s England the very idea of going to Northern Ireland during the Troubles seemed impossible. The Good Friday agreement happened long after I left University. But now Northern Ireland has become a tourist destination and a very lovely one too. My son and I are staying with a friend in a static caravan at Portballintrae just along from the Giant's Causeway and we went there yesterday.

It was just as mindblowing as hoped. Well played Mother Nature
