Luxury camping

John and Paul had finished their day's cycling by the time we arrived. Hugged little sis and walked up to the local pub, the Balconie, to check if we could have dinner there.....no problem. 

Had a luxurious hot shower and a change of clothes then all seven of us walked up the hill to the pub. We ate a feast! Of course the cyclists can eat as much as they like since they burn 7000 calories on their journey.

So the next day we mosied off after the cyclists had departed. 

Heading for Maybole but eventually decided to catch the 7:30pm Cairnryan to Belfast  ferry instead. Changed the booking online and drove on. 250 miles yesterday. 

The ferry journey was interesting because most of the passengers were returning from a football match. They sat near the TV and drank beer after beer.  On the other side of the ferry were some buxom and glamorous women. Big blonde hair put up in chignons. Lots of pink outfits and bare shoulders, even the little girls. It was just like  My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding (on TV) for these were Travellers returning from the traditional Appleby Fair.  Their men folk were downing the pints whilst the women enjoyed catching up on gossip. 

That's all for now......
