A Day of Information and Reflection
Belfast What a day. We began our day at Kate's B&B sharing breakfast with an American couple. They were headed for Bushmill’s distillery to do the tour. They had no idea that the Giant’s Causeway even existed. They thought they could drive the coastal route to Bushmills, and then south again to Shannon Airport to arrive for an evening meeting.

To be sure it wont get robbed in there. We have a good look around and see ...
