• No Rush in Port Rush

    2024年10月2日〜4日, 北アイルランド ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

    It's been a wonderful trip to date, and we have covered a lot of the country. We both have colds, and we felt we needed to slow down and catch our breath. We booked a small townhouse for two days in Port Rush, and it was a perfect spot to do that. Port Rush is a Victorian beach town, only a short drive from Derry. It's low season, so the pace is slower than the summer, but still lots to see and do. We drove along the coast and visited Bushmills before checking into our accommodations. Unfortunately, our timing was off, so we didn't take the tour, but it was still interesting to see the oldest whiskey distillery in Ireland. We parked the car in front of our townhouse and decided that's where it would stay until we checked out. We'd picked up a few groceries so we could use the kitchen and settled into our little home. It was lovely. Michelle, our host, had thought of everything. From a wonderful electric fireplace, to comfy furniture, to a bottle of Bushmills and an assortment of treats. The decor was eclectic, and we kept finding cool little touches. We slept in, explored Port Rush by foot, watched movies, and cooked our meals. It was a lovely break. The views were pretty, we fronted on a park and could see the water. Port Rush has two beautiful beaches, a harbour and even an amusement park. We stopped in at the Port Rush Yacht Club and met an interesting local with her two dogs. We loved that dogs were welcome in many places. It was a wonderful two days in this pretty vacation town.もっと詳しく
