On Sunday there was business in Coleraine - this is if you drive from Belfast towards Londonderry.
He took his family with him. We went there quickly and directly, along the highway. But they didn’t rush back, they decided to take a ride along the sea (see map).

I’ll make a reservation right away - I’ve been to those parts before, but this is the first time to purposefully return to Belfast by the seashore.
We didn't stop at all the places that deserve attention. Not everything was photographed either. I’ll say more - the bulk of the breathtaking views remained, alas, behind the scenes (there was no goal to make a photo report).

First we stopped in Portstewart. Cool college town. There are five ice cream cafes on the embankment. At low tide, the sea retreats from the embankment and exposes coastal rocks on which you can happily climb.
The kids liked it.

Here, on the embankment, there is a monument to the soldiers who fell in the First World War. Many in Ireland, especially in the north, view British soldiers as occupiers. And yet they don’t fight with monuments here.

Then we drove towards Bushmills. There is a lot to see along this road - both Giant’s Causeway and White Rock beach... (Google rules).
We stopped for a couple of minutes near the ruins of Dunluce Castle.

The history of this well-worn castle (as well as other tourist details) is easily searched by the already mentioned Google. Personally, at one time I was deeply touched by only one fact - at the beginning of the 17th century, it seems, part of the castle collapsed into the sea. These were kitchens. The abyss swallowed 7 cooks with all their utensils. In short, this is a very special place for me personally.

Unfortunately, my photo cannot convey the full grandeur of this picture - blue sea, blue sky, green grass, black ruins, and around there are cows, cows...

This is the village of Bushmills. The best Irish whiskey (from famous brands) is made here.
You can go on an excursion and get drunk.

The town of Ballycastle has excellent fish and chips. In addition to the traditional cod and haddock, there are scallops in batter. Three pounds for half a dozen. Tasty.

Sea view from Ballycastle

After Ballycastle, the road to Cushendal goes slightly away from the sea, into the mountains (here I lied on the map, drawing a quick route).
I didn’t photograph this section of the route at all, although there were plenty of breathtaking views in the mountains and interesting architecture in the villages.

And again the sea. On the other side - behind the scenes - there are rocks up to the sky. Signs about possible rockfalls are everywhere.

From time to time you pass some ruins with explanatory signs. If you don't plan your stop in advance, it's difficult to stop. The road is narrow.

And here the sea remains behind the scenes. And the hills aren't as steep as they were a few miles earlier. And even the grass grows.

On the grass there are always beef and lamb.

From Larne it was possible to continue the journey to Carrickfergus, where the Norman castle remained intact and unharmed. But I go to Carrick quite often... in short, they took a shortcut from Larne.

Excerpt characterizing Antrim (Plateau, Ireland)

“Roi de Rome, [Roman King.],” he said, pointing to the portrait with a graceful gesture of his hand. – Admirable! [Wonderful!] – With the Italian ability to change his facial expression at will, he approached the portrait and pretended to be thoughtfully tender. He felt that what he would say and do now was history. And it seemed to him that the best thing he could do now was that he, with his greatness, as a result of which his son played in the billbok the globe so that he shows, in contrast to this greatness, the simplest fatherly tenderness. His eyes became misty, he moved, looked back at the chair (the chair jumped under him) and sat down on it opposite the portrait. One gesture from him - and everyone tiptoed out, leaving the great man to himself and his feelings.
After sitting for some time and touching, without knowing why, his hand to the roughness of the glare of the portrait, he stood up and again called Bosse and the duty officer. He ordered the portrait to be taken out in front of the tent, so as not to deprive the old guard, who stood near his tent, of the happiness of seeing the Roman king, the son and heir of their beloved sovereign.

“An Unfinished Romance” is a sentimental story of two people who love each other very much, but cannot be together. Both have families and, accordingly, obligations to loved ones. For many years in a row, the heroes have been meeting at the hotel. They have only a few days a year to be with someone without whom life is impossible. It would seem that the story staged by director Natalya Bulyga is pure drama. But no! The production turned out to be fun and light, because love is not necessarily and not always a tragedy. Screen star Maria Poroshina, who, in addition to many other film roles, played the sorceress Svetlana in Timur Bekmambetov’s films “Night Watch” and “Day Watch,” herself invited Yaroslav Boyko to take part in the play “An Unfinished Romance.” For her, the choice of stage partner was obvious. Their creative tandem originated back in 2003, when the series “Always Say Always” was released. The actors turned out to be so organic in the role of a loving couple that the viewer was left with no doubt: of course they were having an affair!
