Ireland part 1

First, jump to northern Ireland. For a while I was driving on the left but still I got it wrong sometimes... This is the town of Bally castle. the second problem was that signs in northern Ireland were in MPH and I had a gauge in KMH.  I drove over 500 km on the first day. with a rented car. The main attraction was Giant's causeway. there is a parking fee so park your car by the old railway museum. Over next few days I'm going to post  subsequent posts.

Sheep and green grass

Beware of rock falling. UK has signs for danger in triangle shape, while Ireland have rectangular shaped signs like in US.
