Giant's Causeway
The hostel also had an ideal location. We were just down the road from the Giant's Causeway, one of the most famous places in Ireland. We were only there for two nights, so our whole day was spent exploring the area nonstop. We started off in the morning with a full English breakfast at the hostel, then headed over to the Causeway. It was beautiful, and really neat to witness such a rare natural occurrence. But I must say, from the photos I'd always seen, I expected it to be much larger than it turned out to be. It's one of those funny things where you have an image in your mind already before you get there, and it's not that reality isn't just as great, it just doesn't fit into that mold you've made.
