A couple of minutes walk away we found an indicator of the size of the giant who laid down the causeway: we found his boot.
As you can see, it suddenly went dark as we posed on the boot for our photo, and we had a scary moment when we thought it might be the giant's shadow being cast across us. Our moment of panic passed though, as we realised that the boot was so old and fossilised that the giant couldn't have been around for a good many years. We were quite pleased by this as just look how small we are in relation to that boot! We began to appreciate that with feet that size it wouldn't have taken many strides to get across to Scotland.
Being musical bears there was another causeway sight that was a must for us to see, and that was the rock formation known as 'the organ'. When you look at our next picture you'll get a hint of why it is so named.
We couldn't give you the whole picture or you would never have been able to see us. Even with our close up shot it's probably not easy, but you can probably appreciate that these big examples of basalt tubes do resemble organ pipes.
Sadly we weren't lucky enough to hear a recital on the day we were there, but our visit was still not over, so we'll continue in our next post.
Lots of love, George, Yorkie, Patrick and Eddie xxx

Glad to see that my Bears Adoption Page is on your friends list, but I'd love my main blog to be too if possible at
www.tadley-bear.blogspot.com. It's all about my adventures. I've even been into space and at the moment am desperately searching for an easter egg.(All eggs gratefully received!). Kind Regards, Tadley Bear
Hi Tadley,
Our three web maestros Jimmy, Ungi and Fred have got together and have put a link to your site on our blog. We have enjoyed reading about your egg hunting, and will send you a photo for your hall of fame in the near future.
Love all at BU xxx
