This week I covered a decent amount of ground with by car, bus, foot, and plane.  I started the week in Northern Ireland on a fabulous day for photography.  I took a Viator Tour that took me to Northern Ireland where I got to experience the stunning coastal sunsets, a harrowing walk on a rope bridge, and the unique rock formations of Giants Causeway.  In addition, it included a Black Taxi tour around Belfast – an eye opening and disturbing look at the city’s history and how they are moving forward.  And of course while in Northern Ireland I had to have some Bushmills Whiskey while at the Bushmills Inn.  The perfect way to get warm from a chilly day outside – a roaring fire and whiskey!

I then headed back to the Republic of Ireland and had a wee bit of time in Dublin walking around and taking part in Halloween activities.  But sadly my month in Ireland came to an end this week.  I found it hard to leave as I had grown quite attached to the country – and the smoked salmon and Guinness.  But I had to move on to another great beer country – Belgium.

This week I’m in Belgium laying low – trying to catch up on work, see friends, and also get a healthy dose of my favorite food and beers in Brussels.  I had a waffle as soon as I got off the train from the airport of course.  So – 3 countries this week – I call that a good week!

Trinity college in Dublin. Not only were there fall leaves but also fall graduates. A beautiful fall day for a walking tour!

The ‘blue lagoon’ in Ireland – beautiful dusk on the coast.

A beautiful sunset at Giants Causeway. Seeing Northern Ireland w @viatortravel today!

The Carick-A-Rede Rope Bridge hanging 100 ft above the crashing sea – it was more than a little wobbly! Fishermen erected the bridge so they could check their salmon nets. The original bridge had only a single handrope!

Northern Ireland’s coastal landscapes are stunning and also colorful when the sun decides to shine! This was the path out to the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. Even if you wuss out and don’t go on the bridge dangling bove the cliffs, you still get these views!

The rock cylinders of Giants Causeway – so much fun to climb on!

Clonard church and monastery where secret peace talks took place in Belfast. And one of the few buildings not destroyed in the neighborhood.

When in @BushmillsInn …well – need I say more?

Follow the arrow and let the good times roll in #Brussels at Place Saint Boniface.

Dusk over Brussels and I have rooftop view.  I love staying with friends who have excellent views!

What is Week In-Stagram Review?

Each week brings some new scenery and location for me – that’s just the way I like it. If you want to follow where I am real time – then on Friday I will post some of my Instagram photos from the current week. Some weeks I may be traveling somewhere exotic, and some weeks it may be less interesting – but it will give you a peek into my life of perpetual motion.
