..I didn’t believe it till I actually saw it with my own eyes – huge stones jutting out of the sea looking as if giants have placed them to build a pathway to the mainland from the sea! What a wonderful sight, and almost unbelievable… it is the Giants Causeway in Ireland.
Actually last month my luck has been doing some extra favor to me than ever. For long, it was my dream to visit the eighth wonder of the world – Giants Causeway in Ireland. Finally, the fortune dawned on me when last month when I had to attend a conference in Ireland.
Accompanied by my colleague Jasmine I decided to have a visit to the Giants Causeway. Driving all the way we finally reached the Visitors Centre by car at 10 am and parked our car at Moyle District Council. The most interesting fact about Giants Causeway are the stones formed due to volcanic activity and cooling down of lava, bearing the test of time for millions of years. Through scientific explanations and folk-tales, the Interpretive Audio-Visual Presentation explained how the Giants Causeway was formed.
Jasmine and I took a stroll around the place taking in the beauty of the sea and marveling at the work of nature. On our way back home, we visited the souvenir shop at the centre. I bought few pieces of hand crafted silver and gold jewellery in Celtic designs while Jasmine got a hand cut Crystal for her mom that are sure to make it hard to wash away our memories of visiting this wonderland called Ireland.
