Giants Causeway- World Heritage Site


 Europe-United Kingdom-Northern Ireland
This is a unusual view of the Giants Causeway on the Antrim coast. From the air. A nice warm day here packed with tourists. This is the only World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland.  


There is a postbox at the Giants Causeway. But did not drop it there due to the changes of not getting postmarked. So on the coast was in a beautiful village of Cushendun.  The girl in the Post office told me it was her first day and had no stamps ! I had already bought the stamps previously. My only request was the card to be postmarked at the post office  and go in the mail . This also has the machine cancel . 


This is taken on the Giants Causeway. A beautiful day

Rathlin Island - Northern Ireland


 Europe-United Kingdom-Northern Ireland-Rathlin Island
An Island I wanted to visit for some time . This is in the area of the North of Northern Ireland. Took a 30 minute ride on a boat . Stayed about 4 hours on the island and it was very interesting with a  small museum . The Puffins shown here are only there from April to July, so were gone when I arrived. Still a nice location to walk 


Nice to see a local postmark . A small post office on the island and some new stamps .
