Beautiful Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland has got a bit of bad publicity in the last few days (it always does this time of year), so I thought it was time to remind myself of why I love the place so much.
I set off along the Causeway Coastal route, driving past Larne and into the Glens of Antrim. Along the way, I took a few photos, which I am posting here. Hopefully you will agree that this is a nice little corner of the world. The weather was lovely too, and helped create a relaxed atmosphere. I saw lots of bikers out for a ride - biking is a really popular pastime here. If you are planning your next holiday, why not come to Northern Ireland/

Beautiful pictures. I personally love Ireland. Been there a few times.. Prefer it being a bit sunnier, but as we all know that is a bit rare for that part of EUR. Anyways... sigh..

I think Ireland would be a great country to visit. But after what happened in Belfast recently, I think most of the animal community will boycot that area for awhile.
Best of luck, it is a beautiful country!

Problems in Compton shouldn't put people off visiting LA or the USA in general; a few idiots in Kreuzberg don't stop tourism in Germany. And judging by the massive numbers of tourists in every little corner of Ireland, north and south, people realise this.

nice pics I have traveled to the UK on many occasions (wife's family is in London) and we took a trip to Edinborough. I would like to travel to Ireland (both portions), but don't really understand the "northern" & Ireland thing, ie- many rental car co's have a disclaimer "no renting in N Ireland", I do realize they are seperate contries, any info would be appreciated (plan to go back to UK next year after the Olympic hoopla dies down) |

Beautiful photos of a beautiful country. One would be hard pressed to find a race of people as warm and friendly as the Irish. As has already said, there are idiots and hard areas where a visit is not recommended, but that is the same whatever country in the world one would tour.

Re the Olympics - I agree that it is best to avoid the UK while it is on. Feel free to PM me if you need more details.

My mother's parents were born in Dublin which makes me a dual citizen, a very generous legal accommodation that Ireland allows it's son's and daughter children. I took advantage of it and got my Irish passport in the 80's I've been to Dublin a few times which is where my family is from, but never to the North. Some day soon I hope!

Dublin is a great city, objectively speaking, it is the nicest part of the whole place.
