The final hoorah!

It was quite a chilly in Tilly this morning, but we got up and made our way to King House Tea Rooms, for some delicious breakfast. After we were fuelled we headed on our big drive inland across the country. Along the way we stopped at a petrol station to vacuum Tilly's carpet before we eventually arrived at our main attraction of today which was Newgrange.

Newgrange is a prehistoric monument located on a rise overlooking the River Boyne, it is a passage tomb built during the Neolithic Period, around 3200 BC, making it older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids. It had a exhibition at the information centre before we jumped on a mini bus to take us to the tomb. It was super cool and otherworldly walking into the central cavern.

After we finished up at Newgrange we headed towards our accommodation for the night, it took us 45 minutes to get there to find it was closed. So we found a different place, booked online and drove just under an hour to find out we couldn't get in the gate. After trying to call and emailing them we decided to park the van and walk in and use the showers and washing machine while we waited.

After a while a lovely gentleman arrived to give us access and we finished off the laundry, headed to Tilly to give her a pre-clean before tomorrow, and drank some hot chocolate before heading to bed.
