Day 4 Giant's Causeway and Bushmills

A town that's seen better days, now dependant on the two big tourist attractions. The Bushmills Inn has a real Irish atmosphere and is lit by gas lamps, with little snugs that smell of peat fires. The river bush was in torrent after thunderstorms which we managed to just miss.
Cycle trail follows the world's first hydro electric tramway, open in the Summer, for 5 miles to the causeway
The causeway hosts 600,000 visitors a year, getting there early was a good plan.
And then we lost the plot at the Bushmills Distillery 
no miles to report. Many customers were driving and as we were walking we helped finish their samples. Alison now reports feeling sick. 
Lovely gesture as we walked back after dinner. A passer by asked where we were going and offered to share his umbrella 🌂 with us
