Took the bus to Banbridge this morning where my cousin Mary picked us up.

We had a bite to eat, checked out the town and visited the local linen factory. We had a very nice chat with the gentleman at the linen factory, bought a few pieces of linen and learned some of the history. They still make the linen locally.

We went for a walk along the river in Solitude Park and saw the monument for the hymn writer who wrote What a Friend we Have In Jesus published in 1869.

Tomorrow we meet up with family who will show us around Belfast and the Giants Causeway, we will be staying in a B&B in the countryside while we tour around.
