The weather is still holding up and not so breezy today compared to yesterday and so we left around 10.00 and went first for a walk along the beach at Blackrock and then of to Mussendem Temple, a National Trust property located right on the cliffs with great views. Of course the Castle is derelict and has been partly brought back to order and on the tip of the coast there is a small chapel where marriages also take place.We then took a short drive up in to the hills for further great views across the inlet and you could see Londonderry from here, pausing only for a few minutes we then headed back home for a quick lnch. Jerry and Mura were giving a VSO Ethiopia Presentation in Port Stewart and so we had decided to try the famus local ice cream in the same location before going on to Portrush and finally to Bushmills, the home of the famous Irish Whisky to do a distillery tour.

The tour lasts about 40 minutes and finishes with a reasonable taster of whisky which went down very well and it was here that we met a couple who working in Hunan Province in China but were back for a short break and so we had an interesting chat for about 25 minutes before being thrown out as they were closing everything down .
A quick journey back to Portrush where we met up again with Jerry & Mura and then had dinner in a great restaurant called 55 Degrees North and the service and food were both excellent and at quite a reasonable price.
Then back home and Jen and I spent time looking to book a Hotel for the next night before retiring for the evening
