What a Load of Blarney..

Today was Cork Day 1 (or 2, depending on how you look at it) and we had decided to go to the Blarney Castle. So we hopped on a bus, for the half hour or so trip from Cork, and headed on our merry way.

We actually had time to fit in a bit more today...

... before Jameson's we went to the National Museum.

I prefer Scotch...

... whisky :)

We went to the Old Jameson Distillery today. Figured I really should know how whiskey/whisky (they spell the Irish ones with an 'e') is made.

Dublin Day 1

So after the debacle with the Ferry from IOM to Dublin, we ended up needing to catch a flight. The price wasn't tooo bad really, and we intend to claim on our travel insurance. The flight itself though, was quite rough. Especially rough, when we were in a little ATR42 plane.

So we're now in Dublin anyway, which is good.

The Irony...

never ceases. This week-end is, obviously, the Easter weekend. And we'd planned to go away, up to the Isle Of Man, and then over to Belfast, and then around Ireland. I'll tell you more about this in future posts, however we haven't really planned much beyond the IOM transport and accommodation, which is possibly a good thing....
