At breakfast an interesting sight at the porridge table, yes it is whiskey...First stop was the Dunluce Castle and a history lesson dating back to 1500,
Interesting morning tea break at the coffee shop at Dunluce Castle. The bus crowd was too much for them. The waitress was flustered and dropping the "f" bomb left, right and centre! She told Brian that it was his coffee because he was the man with the Irish hat but Brian looked around and told her that there were half a dozen men there with Irish hats and he didn't order coffee. She tried to get him to find the owner of the coffee but he told her that he doesn't work there.
Then Portrush, where the 2019 British Open golf tournament will be played. You can't join this club as you have to be invited to play there.
Simple lunch at a local pub of soup and sandwiches and then off to the Giant's Causeway, which is a basalt rock formation and a very popular tourist attraction.
Irish Jokes of the Day
Michael witnessed a most interesting signing conversation between Andrew, who has the hearing dog, Ellie, and a Northern Ireland Lady. The lady approached Andrew and looked at the Hearing dog's jacket (which says Hearing Dog) and signed to Andrew " Is the dog deaf? Andrew looked in amazement! Andrew then said to Michael "I am the deaf one why would I have a deaf dog????"
Riding in the bus as it motored down the freeway sign above states that the following direction is used if you want to go South, West and North , Huh
At lunch there was an airshow going on
Back to the Hilton for dinner with friends.
Michael and Colene how are you? Shelley, me and the kids hope you are having a great time... we are tracking Lyndsay and Aileen's flight into Dublin... as I write this it is 7.20 pm Monday night here in Melbourne... they are flying in to Dublin in under 2 hours from now. Aileen said that they are then catching a bus somewhere (2 hours away).. a long trip for them!
