01/07 Portrush - Ballycastle


 PORTRUSH - BALLYCASTLE
52,3 km
3:35 h

I can say the Northern Ireland has a very fine coastline too. Today's a bit foggy but very calm and there's no wind that fills my ears so i can clearly listen to the waves crushing on the bay below.
It's 9o clock and nobody around...
That small village is situated on the White park bay, just before Ballintoy.
 


ùBallintoy harbour

After a quick second breackfast (nice piece of cake and latte) i come back up to the main road, heading to Carrick a rope bridge. Unfortunately i have no time to cross it cause i need to cacth the ferry in an hour so i'll take few pictures from the cliffs... thanks God the weather is clearing up!



Rathlin island from the mainland

Rathlin Island







Southern lighthouse




























Eastern lighthouse















































 The island is quite long, nearly 6 miles long and i can only admire the western part at sunset...


Western Lighthouse










































 ... but most of all, i can admire the sunset itself.
































On the way back home































That's home. As the only hostel on the island was fully booked, i had to choose to spend 39 pounds for a B&B or sleep on the bench. I've chosen the second. Goodnight!
