    Leaving Edmonton

    June 16, 2016 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Had a nice breakfast and checked our bags, because theres no room on the plane for carry on. Huh go figure. Thats why i took the time to pack a backpack.

  • Stop-over in Toronto

    June 16, 2016 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Finally saw the movie The Revenant. Was really good. Now it's time for a couple of drinks and apps before our next flight - 8 hours. Hope to have a chance to snooze.

  • Guiness Brewery Tour

    June 17, 2016 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Learned everything I could ever want to know about making beer. Also learned how important the Guiness family was to the Dublin community. They built hospitals, housing and whole communities for their employees. They also had 21 children of which only 10 survived.Read more

  • The Rock of Cashel

    June 19, 2016 in Ireland ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

    A beautiful castle towering above green pastures filled with sheep and cows. The day is overcast and a light rain is falling, creating just the right mood for walking through a castle that has seen better days. You can imagine the dark and damp nights the inabitants must have experienced, even with walls and roofs providing some shelter.Read more

  • Kilarney National Park

    June 21, 2016 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Yet another castle, or a very large house. We biked to it through the park and found a few treasures along the way. Muckross Abby a cemetary that's still open for business, Torc waterfall (don't expect Niagara Falls 😊) and a view of a beautiful lake. Definately worth the soar behind.Read more

  • Dinner in Killarney

    June 21, 2016 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Had Cinese food in Ireland. LOL. We found this highly rated Restaurant and thought we'd try something different from meat and potatos. We were delighted with this gem called Golden Chopsticks.

  • Clifden, Ireland

    June 24, 2016 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    Road Trip: Doolin to Clifden

    I have to say it has certainly been an experience driving in Ireland. My mantra - keep left and as close to the centre lane as possible, unless a big tour bus is coming - then a few bushes are better than a dance with the bus, and a good stiff drink when we finally reach our destination. Kudo's to Sandy for not screaming every time I took out another bush. Here are just a few pispcs of our journey along the road today.Read more
