The rope bridge has an interesting history, built to help with salmon fishing. After the Capalano suspension bridge in Vancouver, this bridge was quite short and so I chose to walk down to it, but not cross. I made a good decision as the walk was beautiful and the 7 Euro price tag to cross was quite steep. It was a beautiful trek though! Round trip about 4 km.
After the rope bridge we took a very short bus ride to Giant's Causeway. There was a great fable that went along with the formation and I recommend you read it, it was very good. We had an audio guide included with our walk, so that was a nice addition! There were 4 different trails of varying degrees of difficulty, and though I thought they had sugar coated it... they didn't. So I thought I'll take the moderate trail down, and then the challenging one back. I absolutely should have done it the other way around. The views were amazing, but the walk back included a stair-master type of workout.
And lastly, Belfast! It was a very quick stop in Belfast, and by this time my backpack was on it's last straps. I was able to find an outdoors store, kind of like a Tri-State back home and after a lengthy debate about the size of pack I needed, I settled on a blue one that just happened to be on sale. :)
