The day started like all good days do, with a Whiskey tasting at Bushmills Distillery, the oldest in the world.  It seemed rude not to buy a couple of bottles and some Bushmills related souvenirs

We then headed of to a National trust beach for lunch.  Seemed a great idea to drive our enormous camper van onto the beach with all the other cars, right up until we got stuck and needed to be pushed by a bunch of locals to escape.  Lunch was pleasant, although windy, but more importantly it was lovely for the kids to play in the water.  I never knew that Ireland had amazing beaches, but they do; excellent sand but the water is still very cold

After being pushed of the beach we headed to the next site; but it was a bit of a challenge getting there, as every road we tried to go down ended up in a diversion. 4 Hours later we’re in the campsite just on the UK / Ireland boarder, over looking an amazing lake. I took the kids down for a walk and we met a nice couple fishing which the kids really found interesting, particularly when the lady caught something.
