5 (25) Swedish version
	The rain and the wind was lashing our faces when we were waiting in Cushendun, trying to decide whether we should make an attempt to reach Giant's Causeway or not. Something from within urged us to go, so we headed out in the storm. Giant's Causeway is probably the most photographed sight of Northern Ireland. Here, on the North coast, with Scotland across the North Channel, is the enormous embankment of hexagon pillars, making its way from the Coast Mountain to the sea floor. As if by a stroke of magic, the rain stopped and the wind slackened when we came to Giant's Causeway. You may choose if you want to believe that the basalt pillars were created by volcanic activity or if it really was the hero and giant Finn Mac Cumhaill (Mac Cool) who created the road in order to reach Scotland, in those days called Alba. Everything is possible in Ireland.
