Day 45: Game of Thrones (Part 2)

Today was our second day of Game of Thrones tours!

This tour was a lot more interactive, and our guide was a GOT extra and had lots of extra details and stories to share along the way, which was pretty great.

This is the setting for the first GOT scene ever - it's the White Walkers Circle, where all the dead bodies were laid out in a circle.

This is the tree that John Snow and Tyrion Lannister sat under and talked about reading on the way to the Wall.

This is the bridge that the Stark family found the dying elk by,

This is the place where the Stark family found the dead Dire Wolf and its pups.

This is the place where Robb was named King of the North

We also met two of the dire wolves! They're owned by a family of GOT extras, and we got to pet the big dogs and look at a scrapbook with pictures of cast members and all kinds of cool things.

Continuously humming the GOT theme song,

Day 44: Game of Thrones (Part 1)

Today was the first of our two Game of Thrones tours in Northern Ireland!

For this tour, we drove along the East/North coast of Ireland, stopping at a couple pretty cool spots along the way.

This is the place where Arya was in the water in season 6. Great description, right?

This is the cave where Melisandre gave birth to the shadow demon.

This is the Carrick-A-Rede rope bridge, which wasn't related to Game of Thrones but was a cool stop.

 

This is the area that serves for the Iron Islands

We also stopped at the Giant's Causeway, which wasn't related to Game of Thrones either, but was a must stop location on the coastal route.

This is the Kingsroad, but with a lot of tourists.

A little tired of riding in buses (and being sick while riding on buses)
