And top o' the mornin' to yer! We had a week in Ireland In October 2007 and despite dire reports from friends before leaving - it didn't rain once! A hired car made our journey round the green isle very pleasant and easy. We stayed in B&Bs, which were all lovely. In Killarney, there was a huge demand and when we finally found what must have been the last vacancy in Killarney, another lady came up and pushed to the front of the queue. Once the landlord realised what had happened he chucked her out and we got the room. We felt a bit bad but stayed to watch her do a 70 point turn to get out of the carpark to check she didn't bang our car!
It was end of university season in Galway so we joined in with all the gals and lads dressed to the nines.
The scenery was amazing, the spontaneous music making fabulous (particularly enjoyable with a guiness and a cider in hand) and I even took a quick dip in the Atlantic while doing the Ring of Kerry - it was freezing, but I guess that's not a surprise. We knew we were going to France by that stage and struck up a long conversation with the help of a dictionary with a Frenchman in Cork. We went and kissed the Blarney Stone (despite my fear of heights - haven't noticed I'm any more eloquent though). We finished off with a tour of the guiness factory in Dublin.
