Tourists

I got up and headed ashore to look for the showers leaving Tom to continue his dreams in the forecabin.
Found the ladies showers and there was someone inside but couldn't find the gents.
A few minutes later while still searching I heard a shout behind me.
It was Tom!
He hadn't been in the forecabin............he was in the ladies!!
He had already been there...done that....whatever about the t-shirt.

We had been invited to Ger's for breakfast so off we went up the hill to her house and later Ger took us on a tour of the surrounding area in her electric car.

It was both Tom's and my first experience of travelling in one and were both impressed on how quite it was inside. There were many steep climbs but with Ger using the braking regeneration going back down, we didn't loose much range.

Anyway back to being tourists.
Ger took us up the Mourne mountains, to Cloughmor which is a big rock with brilliant views of Warrenpoint and the surrounding area.
We then headed for the southern side of the lough and up Flagstaff Hill where we had great views of the lough.

It turned out that Tom's father was from Warrenpoint and he remembered visiting his relations when he was young.
Ger knew his uncle and showed him where he lived as she drove him around the town which brought back many pleasant memories for him.

We dropped Tom off at Newry train station for his return journey to Dun Laoghaire.
I took Ger out for dinner to thank her for her hospitality and we wandered back to her house with a few cans for beer to continue our talking but soon I headed back to Eureka as I just couldn't keep my eyes open.

Right, the weather was still good with no change in the forecast so seeing that I'm so near Scotland ...............ya, you guessed it. I'm heading north!Read more
