March 18th: Arrived in Belfast shortly after our visit to Bru Na Boinne. This is a wonderful, modern, cosmopolitan center which has shed its troubled past. As usual, our hosts at Belfast High are superbly organized and very gracious. Boys are looking a bit tired so a good night's rest is definitely in order.
March 19th: Thought we like rugby? This school has 4 sets of uprights. That's 4 rugby pitches. Every other sport is, well, just another sport. Rugby is paramount. (Pure bliss). After a good morning training session we made our way up the Antrim coast to Giant's Causeway. The Causeway is a formation of basalt rock columns created over 60 million years ago as a result of volcanic eruptions and the subsequent cooling. The end result is breathtaking, mysterious and powerful. Today the Giant's Causeway is a World heritage site. The images don't do this place justice.
A pleasant surprize, we were joined today by Mr. Duncan Bees who came out to see his son Graeme on tour. How nice is that?
