Ah men in leathers and the smell of racing fuel, no not the Cloherne but the North West 200 motorcycle race (practice session) in Portrush. Early dinner at the fabulous Ramore Wine Bar, which certainly lived up to its fantastic reputation followed by a hours or so of very noisy motorcycles flying around corners at impossible speeds. We unfortunately wouldn't be around for race day to see a Kiwi win all 3 major races!
Friday 11 May saw us on a bus from Derry City to Dublin for the weekend, staying at the salubrious 'Inn On The Liffy'. Most of the weekend was spent wandering the streets, drinking the best coffee since leaving Perth (business opportunity for a visiting barista to show them how to make a real coffee in NI)and eating..of course!. Dublin is looking good these days with lots of money being spent restoring the many magnificent buildings, some dating back to medieval times.
Anyone planning on a visit to Dublin should bring a very big bag of Euros as it is very very expensive.
Since we have returned to Derry on Sunday we have been catching up on some last minute sightseeing, Malin Head (which was stunning) and today Thurs we are en route to the Carrick-a-ree rope bridge, near the Giants Causway. Unfortunately the weather has resumed its Irish gown...ie grey, damp and gloomy. The countryside looks good for all the rain though. Tomorrow we leave for London.........
Ah! the Mighty, Mighty Undertones!

Hey, Hairy Fairy from Derry & Gym, Stoned of Nollamara here. Go Dublin, wicked city. All looking good boys. Where are the people pics? I wanna see a wee vid of you's two doing an Irish jig for us. Up in those hills skipping about in the green wet grass. How about some naked butts frolicking in the Foyle. Speaking of green grass...Nice one Stevie. Thurs 10.24pm here in Perth. All is as it should be, Sir's.
Off to London, eh? This is when the fun begins. Petey xx Miss you! P x
