COUNTRYSIDE, CATHEDRALS, CHURCHES, CASTLES, CELTIC CROSSES, COWS















































































Well our trip in Ireland is coming to an end tomorrow, we fly to London. But the title sums up our visit here. We have been so fortunate and enjoyed Ireland with mostly clear blue skies. The people are very hospitable and there are no signs of road rage, just the opposite. We have been down many backroads, dodging the sheep, pigs, cows, tractors and horses. Travelling 100kph on a road that one car should only fit on, with hedges on either side. Suddenly there is a large truck coming your way certainly makes us appreciate taking out all the insurance we did on our car rental. Alan has done a super job of driving. We have managed to put not a scratch on, but with our luck and history of windshields we did pick up a rock on the motorway yesterday and now have a chip.
Being out of tourist sesson has allowed us the convenience of finding great accommodation without too much planning. Also the sites we have visited are not crowded, in fact sometimes we are the only ones there.
Flying to my nephew's in London tomorrow afternoon. We will certainly enjoy his family and seeing Hannah (5) and Ethan (3).
