September 29, 2019 - Ballycastle, Northern Ireland

Today we took the ferry from Cairnryan, Scotland to Belfast, Northern Ireland and then headed up the coast to Ballycastle.  The place we stayed last night was a B & B run by Margaret who is also the owner.  The building is 350 years old and it has been in her family for several generations.  She.was a lot of fun and told us all about her family history from the area.  She and Susie even got on her computer and Margaret tried to help us locate some of my Clark ancestors but to no avail.  I recorded 19 minutes of Margaret talking about her family and I'm going to try to find a way to post it here.

The ferry ride was.fine and we spoke with an Australian couple who were spending 2 months touring around by car.  When disembarked in Belfast we took off north and arrived at our hotel in good time.  We are staying at a hotel called the Salthouse Hotel.  It is only 3 months old and really nice.  We're here for 2 nights.
