Portrush and Portstewart

Tuesday/Rārua

Portrush portrait.

Portrush Golf course in the distance.

To Portstewart for lunch.

You can drive along the beach.

Back to Portrush and back to see if we could catch any golfers in the Harbour Bar. We met Aubrey and Eline from Ballymena instead. They were having a night away from their two boys Max 5 and Harry 8 (I may have got ages wrong).  Aubrey had been to NZ for the Lions tour in 2011. He said he did not recall too much but he knew he had a great time. One of his group tried to get into the X-ray machine at one airport - that gives you some idea of their state.  Aubrey is a builder and Eline a school teacher. They have just bought a holiday place in Portrush last year.  People are so friendly and we loved chatting with them.

Home to blog, and phone call to Mum/Jeni in Bunderin hospital near Noosa. She is okay. No fall, just dehydrated and perhaps a 24 hour vomiting bug which never goes down too well at nearly 90.
