Belfast 5 November 2006


Giant's Causeway. Another windy clifftop walk. It's smaller than we expected. Is that the Boot? Must be I suppose...Oh, no, here it is...I think. Too much whiskey from the nearby Bushmills Distillery fuelled the imagination of the people naming some of these formations.

The distillery itself is closed (guidebook and tourist ileaflet agree) but open when we decide to chance a visit - a developing theme. A fire alarm midway through the introductory film to the guided tour. (We'll help you save the stock!) Three whiskeys to taste. Jenny hates them all so I get hers. Sweeter, 16 year-old. Aged in sherry nd port barrels.



Dunluce Castle. Spectacular. Perched on a windswept headland. Sun set behind it.
