Hello all from green and luscious Ireland
Having a lovely time touring around Ireland, Dublin was great. Visited the Trinity College and saw the Book of Kells and the Guiness storehouse - tasted a drop or two at the top of the tower with views out to Dublin city. Also enjoyed the city tour. A vibrant city. Staying at the hostel was educational - luckily sleeping after walking all day meant that the train line didn't bother us!
In Wexford today stayed at a lovely B&B and on to Waterford to see the crystal being cut and to ~Cork for the night. Cork has a great 'English'market with local produce. Talking about food we have been enjoying the local bacon, Irish stew and soda bread. Had cod and chips last night - lovely. Dad if you are reading this - we had great thick bacon from Cardiff markets - lovely!
So people - we both have colds now and so it is with a red nose and thank goodness for lemsip that we say cheerio for now and speak when we can next get on.
