    The hostel was full of motorcyclists and hikers.
    There are so many motorcycles on the road. The roads are a motorcyclists dream.
    Flew out of Glasgow and got jnto Belfast about 30 mins later. aot our car a nice little Skoda. It took us about 90 min to find our B & B.

Up to the giants causeway tomorrow via the coast rd which was recommended by the lively Irish guy from rental car co.
