So started off well as did not wake up until a godly hour so I think the jet lag is beaten. Today I have planned for us to go to the Cathedral Metropolitana which is one of Mexico city’s most iconic structures. One of the iconic features is supposed to be the Altar de Los Reyes. It is gilded with gold and is very opulent to say the least. Sometimes it does make you wonder how the world is when you see things like this in churches/cathedrals with so much poverty around and many people sleeping on the streets - is this really right?! So in my guide book another must see in Mexico City is Plaza Garibaldi so I plot how to get there. Once again due to the traffic it appears to be quicker ... read more

After a long long journey, which did not start off the best as although I could check in on line it would not let me book our seats - when we originally booked with Virgin they allocated us seats but then they changed the flight to connect in Orlando not New York. So being the savvy travellers as we are we went to the Virgin Twilight desk to get them to sort it out for us. This then opened the can or worms as there were only 2 seats left not together but hey ho we can live with that as I always just sleep but then to be told that one of the entertainments in one of the seats was out of order + it was also a long standing issue - not happy chappies ... read more

Well it’s the last day of the Wild Atlantic Way (WAW) so we set off from Baltimore back to the town we came through Skibbereen and made our way to Tow Head Bay. Now previously I had told Mike that this was going to be the easiest day driving - well this proved to be totally wrong and started off not very well. It appears that for this leg of our journey we are not getting much help from the WAW signs as they are honestly few and far between and the towns we are going through, well the Irish like to keep their town names a secret because they they don’t tell you the name - even google maps could not help so it was just guess and go and sometimes turn around and go ... read more

So we get up bright an early and find another couple of motorhomes had joined us during the night. The sun was shining and I had a cup of tea sat outside next to the beach, not a bad start for a Monday morning is all I can say. We then made our way to Kerry Head which had spectacular views which seems like every corner you turn on this Wild Atlantic Way (WAW). So we then drive to Tralee and I really wanted to visit the Blenneville Windmill which is a working windmill to this day. I get my way - doesn’t a Princess always!! We take a tour of the windmill and I learnt so much and also suddenly realised the the top of the windmill with the blades or sales moves through 360 ... read more

So we set off at a reasonable time this morning and we hit the road again down the Wild Atlantic Way (WAW). I think we have started to get a bit complacent as we forgot to turn the gas off and made quite a few misjudgements with the road signs. So told Mike we need to stop being cocky with this all and rein it in a bit. Well as we are driving along all I can see are men (now I was going to say Paddy’s but seeing as this is not PC - I have said men, ha ha) at the side of the road waiting for something and not just one man lots of men and not in a group all separately - now I wonder what they are waiting for could it ... read more
