Michael Palin included the train ride from Derry to Coleraine in his BBC series "Great Railway Journeys of the World," saying, “A train journey to the North Coast will be an unforgettable experience. Whether you live in Northern Ireland or are visiting, take the opportunity to visit and enjoy the beautiful scenery." M and I took the trip as the first part of our trip to Portrush yesterday. We started our day with a walk along the beach. There were surfing students and a few swimmers. But the water was cold and M and I were content to just to get our feet wet. Then we had an early lunch on the patio at the White House department store.
We spent the afternoon at Barry's Arcade. When we went to Portrush in June, Northern Ireland schools hadn't let out for the summer and I wondered if Portrush and, especially Barry's, would be more crowded now. There were definitely more people around town and in the arcade, but it didn't feel overly busy.
