The legend of the Causeway has it that the Irish warrior Fionn mac Cumhaill built the causeway to walk to Scotland to fight his Scottish counterpart Benandonner.  So “Fionn had spent many days and nights trying to create a bridge to Scotland because he was challenged by another giant. A fellow boatsman told him that the opponent was much larger than he.”
Fionn got scared of the giant who challenged him from Scotland, so he dressed up like a baby, as his wife helped by pretending that the “baby” was hers.  When the Giant came from Scotland, talked to the wife, as the wife lied and said her husband was out cutting wood, and showed him the baby (Fionn).  The Giant was afraid that Fionn was probably a bigger Giant than he was, so he cowardly ran back to Scotland and wrecking the bridge between Ireland and Scotland.
“The “causeway” legend corresponds with geological history in as much as there are similar basalt formations (a part of the same ancient lava flow) at the site of Fingal’s Cave on the isle of Staffa in Scotland.”

Well the odd rock formations is actually caused by intense volcanic activity like 50-60 million years ago, and liquidized basalt flowed over chalkbeds to form a lava plateau. as the lava cooled, contraction occurred.  “Columns formed which is caused by how fast the lava cools. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres (36 ft) high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.”
These “hexagonal” rocks are naturally formed  by nature.  I guess it not that amusing because you can find man-made rocks that looks the same.

Well, after the Causeway… we decided to take a 4 hour hike back the the hostel it was supposed to be between 12-15km, but since we took the costal route rather than the real road, I think we walked 22km instead.  It was the longest distance I’ve ever walked, and the longest I’ve ever walked for non-stop.  I was thinking ehh… 15km, no problem… but it was intense.  We took roads that were not even roads, scaled mountains, crossed many rocks roads, and the beach.  I got back to the hostel , and I didn’t want to walk any where any more.  Here are some pictures from the 4 hour hike:

Saw the light at the end of the hike 😀
