travelogue, part 1

So, first I went to a cool and rainy country.



It had fences.



And there were many cliffs.



(My dad was with me for this part of the trip, so we did quite a lot of hiking, and even tried to climb a mountain; which, however, was not a great success as it was entirely covered in bog.)

We traveled north, across the border, and found some murals.



There were also a whole bunch of hexagons.



And a puffin. (With Dad along, you do a lot of birdwatching as well.)

    Well, I figured it might be fun for people to try to work out for themselves where I was, but I shall post locations in the comments:

    #1 and #3 -- on the road between Galway and Sligo

    #2 -- Inishmor, Aran Islands

    #4 -- Bogside murals, Derry

    #5 -- Giant's Causeway

    #6 -- Rathlin Island

    Pretty! But how did they make the hexagons?
