We're supposed to head back to Galway at 12.30. But then, Mut proposed a better plan for us. A trip to Derry and Giants Causeway. Heck. Why not?
So, we departed around 2.15pm. Arriving at the Giants Causeway around half past 4. Not bad. It was raining the whole trip. But as soon as we arrived at that place, the rain stopped. Just nice for picture taking.
What's Giants Causeway? Beats me, I've no idea.
Aude told me....
Once upon a time, in Ireland, lived a gentle giant called Finn MacCool. At fifty two feet six inches, he was a relatively small giant. But across the sea in Scotland there was a rival giant called Benandonner. The two Giants hollered across the sea of Moyle, each demanding a trial of strength. This was agreed, and hospitable Finn offered to make the contest possible by building a rocky causeway between the two countries. But to do this he needed some helpers, which tells how Finn built a path across the sea from County Antrim to Benandonner's lair - Fingal's cave on the island of Staffa, but the work was so laborious that Finn fell asleep with exhaustion. Oonagh was Finn's wife, a giantess, she woke up early the next morning to find Finn sound asleep. Then she heard the sound of thunderous footsteps and saw the mighty Benandonner approaching. He was truly gigantic. Finn would be no match against this Scottish giant. Quick thinking Oonagh covered the sleeping Finn with a nightgown and bonnet..."Where's Finn?" bellowed Benandonner,"Where is the coward hiding?"He peered at the sleeping Finn. "Be quiet," Oonagh warned Benandonner, "or you'll waken the bairn!"Benandonner panicked. If the child was this big, how much bigger might Finn be? He did not stay to find out... He hastily retreated across the causeway, destroying it in his wake....
Anyway, we had a lot of fun at the Giants Causeway. Well, I had a lot of fun taking pictures, watching the scenery..going up the Honeycombs..I dont know about the others. I guess they had some fun too..
At around 6pm, we head back to Letterkenny. But before that, we stopped by at Derry. Londonderry? Or just Derry? Whatever. Not much to see. We had a quick tour around the city centre. Stopped by at the water front. And then, that's it.
Well, that's the journey. As we arrived home, Mut and Kak Teh went out for dinner. Us kids stayed home. Well, me and Aude, we're too tired for dinner...although it's free...Phalinn? Malu2 pusak. Thekiso came to the house later..around 10.00pm. We watched White Chicks, and we had good laughs together..Haha!
Okaylah. I'm not going to post the picture today. Maybe esok2 lah. Better go to sleep now. I'm taking the bus back to Galway at 7.55am. Adeh...I hate bus trip.
