Well that tour didn't happen as our ship was very late into port as there wasn't enough water for the ship!  We had to wait for the tide to come in.  So hopefully we will get a refund!  We booked onto another tour of the Giant Causeway!! Getting off the ship was quite the nightmare this morning- getting over 3000 people to shore is quite the issue when we were so late!!

The tour turned out to be quite good, we got to see the Dark Hedges, which were magnificent, along with the great Causeway, and a few other stops! 

The pictures definitely won't due the sea scape justice. Quiet supper on board, and we watched a bit of the Mersey Beatles again, they put on a little concert in the main area. And back to watch a movie and relax. Our days are long, I think I will need a holiday from our holiday. Lol.
