      Pheonix Park and visiting Auntie Rita

      May 15 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      Beautiful walk around. The papal cross in Phoenix Park loomed over a million people on the afternoon of 29 September 1979 when Pope John Paul II celebrated mass there on his visit to Ireland. It stands at 116 ft

      Auntie Rita made me her famous Irish Coddle, which was delightful. Sausages and bacon in a stew like form. Cups of teas on the go and fury biscuits 😋

      We had photos with my other cousin Phillip, too. He gave Mal a new shirt and Benny a Rubix Cube. It was lovely to see him and we also met Katie who is my cousin Vicki's daughter. God she is a stunner. She hit it off with Ben and they are now bezzie mates.

      Overall, spending time with Auntie Rita and Uncle Liam has been quite emotional for me. Hearing the stories of what was all them years ago has made me feel even more grateful being here. The missing link has now been connected. 💔❤️‍🩹❤️

      Dublin

      May 11 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      Nach dem Tollymore Forest und einem Erholungstag auf dem Camping Lynders vor Dublin besuchen wir heute Dublin. Auch hier gibt es viel zu bestaunen. Alle Busse sind Doppeldecker und kurven durch enge Gassen als wärs ein PW 🫣. Natürlich muss mann hier in die Tempelbar mit "Live Music". Diese Bar ist bereits am Nachmittag gerammelt voll! Krass aber wunder schön.Read more

      Dublin Day 1

      April 26 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

      Our first day in Dublin! We got checked into the Mespil Hotel, had lunch, and walked to the lovely St. Stephens Green Park. It was filled with tulips, irises, and lots of GREEN, along with ponds of ducks, blue herin, and swans! Found Foley's for beef stew and beer, and the waitress surprised me with a Moretti, and Bill with a Guiness. What happens in Ireland, stays in Ireland!Read more

      Ok.... Day 1 Summay Wrap Up

      June 27, 2022 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      So... I don't think anyone wants me to post after every little thing we do... so I think I will try and post just a daily summary and hit "my" highlights.... which I am sure is different from Jen's highlights that she posts on Facebook.

      So... Day 1. After Trinity College and The Book of Kells, we got on our walking horse and headed south. We tried to go to a museum but it was closed. So we went to a park... then left that park. Then we went on a wild emotional journey to find a bathroom which we eventually found but had to pay $0.25 for...so.... i dried my hands for an extra 10 seconds to get my monies worth.

      Then it was off to find lunch. The place we wanted to go opens at 11 but they didn't open their doors until 12 so we went to another place where my kids could eat chicken wings. Then it was off to a church we didn't go in and Dublinia... the Viking museum, where we took a video of a viking pooping. Then it was off to another church that we did go to but got kicked out of because they were "closing" for a service. Then it was a mad run to a store my kids wanted to go to because they had magic cards there but we didn't make it in time so now my kids were "disappointed". REALLY!!!! And then it was time to tackle the near impossible question... "where do we eat supper " which ended up getting answered with "a grocery store". Then it was back to the room where Liam fell right to sleep and our watches that record our steps were smoking and almost dead after recording over 23,000 steps.

      Whew....

      Tomorrow will be much more laid back.

      Tag 12 > Brownstown - Dublin (83km)

      June 23, 2022 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      17000👣

      nach klatsch und tratsch mit fiona gings heute los richtung dublin.
      zuerst aber noch ein paar worte zu fiona und ihrer unterkunft.
      wir werden bei unserem nächsten irland besuch, wenn möglich bestimmt wieder hier hausen! tolle unterkunft und sehr sympathische gastgeberin. fiona ist um das wohl ihrer gäste sehr besorgt und gibt sich grosse mühe.😊
      artists annex, the lotts cottage, brownstown.

      es ging jedoch nicht auf direktem weg nach dublin, der howth schlänker wurde noch gemacht. es hat sich gelohnt! echt schöne gegend hier, jedoch ziemlich viel verkehr. soviele ampeln wie hier hatten wir die ganze reise über nicht🤣
      mittaghalt gabs bei einem lighthouse, schönes plätzchen. uuund heute haben wir auch wieder einen coffeetruck gefunden. super abschluss des roadtripps.

      schweren herzens gings zurück zum dublin airport um tiffany abzugeben.
      danke an unsere weisse perle für die unfallfreien 3000km die du uns begleitet hast! in einem top zustand, ohne sandkasten (haben zum glück noch ein staubsauger gefunden🤣) haben wir sie dann wieder zurückgegeben.

      mit dem bus gings in richtung unterkunft, wo wir nach ca 40minuten schweissgebadet ankamen🥵
      zum glück hatten wir wieder ein gutes händchen, gross & sauber, hier lässts sich für die nächsten 2 nächte leben.😁

      frisch machen und dann loos - wuhuu dublin we are coming🥳😁🍻

      abendessen gabs im one society, leecker pizzza🍕🍕
      weiter in die templebar street, wenn dann richtig touristisch😁 fiona hat uns zwar noch pubs aufgeschrieben wo die einheimischen hingehen, sind aber noch weiter weg als die templebar🤷‍♀️
      dublin hat sich meiner meinung nach schon etwas verändert..sehr viele obdachlose, sehr dreckig usw.. wäre ich das erste mal in dublin, naja, der 1.eindruck würde keineswegs für eine weitere reise hierhin überzeugen😳 bin gespannt wie wir es morgen empfinden wenn wir durch die stadt laufen.
      guinness und musik in den pubs war jedoch suuuper😁🍻🥳 was uns erstaunt hat, um 19.00uhr waren die pubs bereits schon voll🙈🤣

    • Day 22

      Walking Tour of Dublin

      May 27, 2022 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      Nice tour round Dublin, wasn't the most interesting tour ever, but perhaps the most surprising fact...
      Before the potato famine, the population was 8 million, now today it's only 5 million, so the effects are still very noticeable due to so many deaths and migration, even after all these years of population increase.Read more

    • Day 3

      Innovative Methods...

      May 19 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

      Unser Kurs beginnt um 15.00 in einem Conference Center am River Liffey. Auf Dianas Wunsch starten wir mit einem wirklich interessanten Gottesdienst in einer Baptist Church in den Pfingstsonntag. Dann treffen wir einen netten Iren und fahren mit ihm nach Sandymount, an die Küste. Leider ist Ebbe...aber es gibt viele nette Cafés für Lunch. Mit dem nächsten Doppeldecker geht es dann zurück in die City. Am Kurs nehmen 12 verschiedene Nationen teil... die "European Dimension" spielt eine große Rolle. Für unser Durchhaltevermögen belohnen wir uns mit fish and chips... Und die Dose Guinness chillt schon im Kühlschrank... :)Read more

      Dublin Adventures

      May 16 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      Woke up in Dublin, and we are now both sick, so unfortunately, we weren't in full tourist mode. We did have breakfast out, full cooked breakfast for €6.95 each, which included coffee/tea. We did look around the city using the hop on/off bus (I couldn't do much walking today) Ireland is now changing their signage to have Gaelic then English underneath, the government doesn't want the national language to dissappear, which I think is pretty cool but have heard it is a hard language to learn. Went to St Michan's Church and looked at the underground vaults / crypts. I only did the one as I hurt my hip coming out, but Brian did a full tour and highly recommends. Back to the hotel for rest and then went to wax museum and dinner out, Brian enjoyed an Irish stew. Early night for road trip tomorrow, and hopefully we will be feeling better.Read more

    • Day 8

      Dublin City and a Rock n Roll Museum

      May 16 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      We went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum today. When it comes to Irish Rock ‘N’ Roll, while there have been successful bands in a lot of the different rock genres, real Rock ‘N’ Roll is where the Irish bands really shine. U2, Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, and Van Morrison. Fairly recent musicians, The Cranberries, Sinead O'Connor, The Corrs, The Script, and Hozier.

      We had a great walk around, and our guide Alan was lovely. Mal had a play on the drum kit held in a room that many musicians had jammed in, including U2 and even David Bowie!! What a moment 👏

      We got some lunch at a Burger place, called Born for Burgers, which was delish👌 and we took some pictures of the buildings here in the city too

Went to local restaurant for dinner before coming back to hotel for some rest as tomorrow we play tourist in Dublin.Read more
