''...the green and troubled land of
tourist brochures and news headlines.''

Quote from: Ireland, A Novel by Frank Delaney

Warmed and cooled by the North Atlantic stream and location respectively, Ireland is never extremely cold or extremely hot.

This celtic isle is stoney grey, rugged mountains, cliffs and dewy greenness. Windswept and misty, you will likely need an umbrella anytime.

From the ring of Kerry to the tatched cottages of Conamera to the Giants Causeway, may the road rise to meet you and may your hassles be small ones.

Ireland has folklore, lively music, dance and haunting ballads. Kiss the Blarney stone and join the locals in one of the pubs which outnumber just about everything for a pint of black and tan, or ten. Then rise up yer skirts and kick up yer heals for a bit of mighty craic with fiddles, harps, jigs and reels.

Excursion from Dublin Europe » Ireland » County Wicklow » Wicklow

On Wednesday, we decided to go out of the Dublin area and see the countryside. I had read a lot about a monastery called Glendalough that was founded by St. Kevin in the 7th Century. At one point, it was one of the major religious centers in Ireland. We paid 20 Euros to take a bus out to the site and got to spend 3.5 hours there. It was easily a place that I could spend a few days in. It lies in part of the Wicklow Mountains in a national park south of Dublin. Glendalough is one of the most [View Full Entry]

Alicia and Paul

My Dublin weekend away On Saturday 5 September 2009, my boyfriend Paul & I took a trip to Dublin, Ireland, for many reasons. As I had already travelled through Ireland in 2008, I was not particularly interested in visiting the country again. However, one of my good friend's, Annik had just moved over to Dublin from Australia so I had always planned to go visit her. So when the opportunity came up one day at work where Ryan Air had £1 flights for sale, I thought why not. I knew Paul always wanted to go to Ireland and that we [View Full Entry]

First Day in Ireland Europe » Ireland » County Dublin » Dublin

This morning we woke up around 5:30 am to head out to the airport for our Aer Lingus flight to Dublin. One major thing that my family has learned about travel of our kind is to be really conservative with the items you bring, and that was reinforced at the airport. Also, make sure that you check to see the bag requirements of any airlines that you might travel. We checked British Airways’ regulations on the way out and had no problem. Apparently, though, Aer Lingus considers flying from Scotland to Ireland domestic, instead of international, so they only allow one [View Full Entry]

On the Road in Our Swift Motorhome Europe » Ireland » County Kerry

Presently, we're in Killarney, Ireland. We've been on the road for a fair piece now. Internet connections are not always as handy as we would like and are often more expensive than we like. So, we haven't been contributing to this blog as frequently as we had expected to. We're both well and enjoying ourselves and hope to make more frequent posts to this blog from now on. We spent a few days camping in Edmonton after finally picking up the van. Edmonton is actually in northern London. From there we drove to Oxford to get supplies for the van. Go [View Full Entry]

Birr, Ireland part 2 Europe » Ireland

Lucy in the Castle grounds

Birr, Ireland part 2 Well, it is Sunday evening and I’m sitting here at 6pm outside with a glass of wine funally getting around to typing something up to put on the blog. Dinner is in the oven (I’m feeling very domesticated here, as is Lucy who has made 2 batches of muffins since we arrived). The weather is unusually warm and sunny. Ken had a massage yesterday from a sports physio who said the weather is the best they’ve had in years. I’ve no real idea on the best way to do this blog. Will do it day by day [View Full Entry]

Bunking down in Ballybunion Europe » Ireland » County Kerry

It was a fine day to visit the beach!
Sun shining in Ballybunion but there was a nip in the air.

Ballybunion was once a very popular seaside resort with Irish families until the late 1960's. Thousands were attracted to its sandy beaches, its busy main street filled with pubs for the adults and fun parlours for the kids. However when cheap package holidays to Mediterranean resorts became trendy, the Irish holiday became less attractive. Better weather, more interesting food and a sophisticated society/culture was a huge pull for Northern Europeans. Ballybunion has one of the most famous links golf courses in the world and now relies heavily on the arrival of foreign golfers to keep t [View Full Entry]
