    Our Final Golf Game in Ireland

    23 de septiembre de 2024, Irlanda ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Today we played The Island Golf Club in Malahide Ireland . The club was established in. 1890 and up until 1973 the only way to get to the course was by boat .
    We had an early tee time (8:10 am) and with the heavy cloud cover and low ambient lighting in the morning it was hard to see our shots for the first couple of holes.
    The course once again was a traditional links course with large mounds of sand and fescue grasses .
    The bays around Malahide have plenty of mussels and when we were playing holes 10-12 we saw a lot of mussel shells on the fairway and roughs. The birds scoop them up from the water and drop them from high above to break their shells and eat the mussel

    We also saw a few pheasants on the course which I think we only saw once before .

    Celeste played really well and she had the lowest lost ball count in our group. Over 9 rounds she only lost 1 ball. ( I lost 4 balls)

    The course treated us very well and just before our first group teed off they raised the Canadian flag 🇨🇦 on their second flag pole.
    I had contacted the course through our travel tour operator about exchanging flags . The 2 vice Captains from the Island Course were waiting for us at the end of the round and we had a Flag exchange between our Club Silver Springs and their club . After the flag exchange they treated Celeste and into drinks and lunch . Mary and Liam were very nice and it was pleasant to meet them and hear about the club and kids .

    The Island Club maybe not as famous as some of the other courses but it is definitely a members course where members can play it again and again . Some holes are still very challenging, for example the 14 th hope has the narrowest fairway in all of Ireland. ( both Celeste and I hit our drives on the fairway )

    After our game we came back to our not so nice hotel and started to pack for our flight home . The entire group met for drinks tonight and most of us stayed for dinner in the hotel restaurant.
    A fitting end to our final full day in Ireland.    Leer más

    The Merry Ploughboy

    22 de septiembre de 2024, Irlanda ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    This morning we boarded the bus in Tralee and drove back to Dublin. It is normally a 3.5 hour drive and we took about 4.5 hours . Celeste and I made a sandwich at the breakfast buffet as we expected our lunch stop would be another truck stop. We did stop at a truck stop and most people grabbed chips, pop and other snacks.

    Once we arrived we checked in and I walked about 6 km to our 2 previous hotels we stayed in Dublin . I was missing a couple of things and I thought in the off chance they maybe in the lost and found at the other hotels ( they were not).

    This hotel is not the best of the stay, we are actually on the wrong side of Dublin near the train station. The room is not the best and the hotel is old . We just ready to get home and sleep in our own bed . We overlook the train tracks. For those My Cousin Vinny fans, “ it is highly unusual for the 5 am train to come by” we definitely hear the trains.

    Tonight was our final group dinner . We went to The Merry Ploughboy Pub for an evening of traditional Irish Food, song , entertainment and dance . The food was very good, the beers and whiskey were awesome and the entertainment was fabulous. Everyone in our group had a great time .    Leer más

    Immerhin kein Regen

    22 de septiembre de 2024, Irlanda ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Vorsichtig aber wirklich ganz vorsichtig, habe ich heute als erstes durch den Vorhangspalt geblinzelt um zu schauen ob das Wetter wirklich so schlecht ist wie angesagt. Das würde ja die Schönheit von dieser Stadt noch unterstreichen. Welch eine Überraschung, es regnet nicht und dies sollte auch den ganzen Tag so bleiben, wobei ich sagen muss, es war ja auch schon fast die Hälfte des Tages vorbei. Bis wir nämlich aus den Federn kamen resp aus unserem Tiny Zimmer war bereits 11.30 Uhr.
    Es verschlug uns in die Gegenrichtung des Touri-Zentrum, schon fast ein wenig unheimlich, Sonntags in einer Stadt ohne Personen. Wir fanden ein herrlich, kleines Kaffee mit herrlich überrissenen Preisen dafür ein herrliches alternatives Gebäck mit den dazugehörigen Leuten ( lustige Kleider und lustige Frisuren)
    Nun ging es weiter zur Busstation von unserem roten, sehr unterhaltsamen Bus. Luni war schon voller Vorfreude. Heute jedoch, war er besser und erzählte uns viel mehr als gestern. Wir strandeten irgendwann in den Docklands. Hier hatte es aber überraschend viele Leute und wir fragen uns von wo all diese Leute kamen.
    Mittlerweile war breites Nachmittag und wir mussten schauen, dass wir rechtzeitig an unserem nächsten Busevent waren. Ich hatte einen Afternoon Tea in einem Vintage Bus gebucht. Ja, stimmt, wir hätten uns die andere Tour sparen können . Die Frage ist nur, was hätten wir dann gemacht 🤪
    Nach dem lustigen Afternoon Tea schlichen wir uns zurück ins Hotel und blieben da für die nächsten paar Stunden. Das Abendessen stand an und damit auch dr Bunti-Obe🤣 Heute hauen wir auf den Putz!!!
    Wir zogen uns unsere schönsten paar Schuhe an, schlichen runter in die Hotelbar, assen da eine Portion Muschel und gingen wieder rauf…..
    Sensationell sag ich euch. Wie gut wenn man einen Reisepartner hat, der mehr oder weniger auf der gleichen Wellenlänge ist.
    Man stelle sich nun vor, ich hätte noch Party machen müssen bis in aller Nacht in Temple Bar (Partyviertel)…….    Leer más

    Willkommen in Döblin

    21 de septiembre de 2024, Irlanda ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Ähm ja, ok ja, mmmhhh, tja, ähm ok, was soll ich sagen resp. was sollen wir zu dieser Stadt sagen…
    Moment….
    Luni????
    Äähm mhhh tja
    Ok, wir reissen uns nun zusammen und suchen was.
    Ok, ich versuche es. Auf der Hopp on hopp of Tour in Döblin mit dem roten Bus, haben wir in verschiedene Schlafzimmer gesehen und schreckliche Bettwäsche gesehen und die Betten waren auch nicht gemacht. Dann kam wieder eine mehr oder weniger schöne Kirche und dann wieder grauenhaft, herunter gekommen und versiffte Fassaden. In der Hälfte der Tour stiegen wir aus, da wir bis jetzt noch nichts schönes entdecken konnten . Wir schreiben immerhin schon 16 Uhr….
    Weiter ging es zu Fuss. Mensch, wir wissen ja, es kommen Menschen nach Dublin nur fürs Wochenende. Es muss doch was schönes haben. Wir suchen also weiter und weiter und weiter. Ok, wir versuchen es mit Shoppen. Auch nichts. Neben den üblichen Läden wie Zara und H&M ( ja es gibt tatsächlich auch Hermes und LV, was aber nicht ganz unserem Einkaufsbudget entspricht) finden wir ausser einem Laden, schon wieder nur so versiffte Läden oder eben solche mit Souvenirs die kein Mensch braucht. Wir versuchen es weiter und werden es morgen nochmals versuchen etwas schönes an dieser Stadt zu finden…..
    Der Tag hatten eigentlich so gut angefangen.
    Rückfahrt nach Dublin, Auto Abgabe innerhalb weniger Minuten, Bus umgehend in die Stadt, eigentlich ein super Start aber eben…
    Nicht nur Menschen brauchen zum Teil eine zweite Chance sondern auch Städte ;-)    Leer más

    A day of Touring Dublin

    11 de septiembre de 2024, Irlanda ⋅ 🌬 11 °C

    Today was a tour set up with the big group as everyone else came in yesterday so the golf portion does not start until tomorrow.

    The day did not start off the best as the hotel had no hot water in the rooms making trying to take a shower impossible.
    Breakfast was a gong show as there were 2 other big groups departing today and everyone showed up at the same time.

    We boarded a bus and drove around the downtown area as the guide pointed out various point of interest.

    Our first stop was at the Epic Irish Emigration Museum. Over the last century Ireland has had millions of people emigrate to all over the world. The museum focused on the why they moved , where they moved , their culture and famous first and future generations of Irish around the world .

    Our second stop was at Guinness Storehouse which is the original site of the Guinness brewery. We had an excellent tour guide where we learned about the ingredients, sourcing of the ingredients, the entire beer making process and the marketing of Guinness. We had a private tasting followed by a pint in the private bar on the top floor of the Storehouse . The view from the bar was a 360 degree view of Dublin .

    Our final stop was at Trinity College which was established in 1592. Trinity College is Ireland’s oldest university modelled after Cambridge and Oxford. After a tour of the campus we visited the old library which is the home of The Book of Kells. The Book of Kells is Ireland’s most valued treasure which is an illuminated manuscript containing the four Gospels of the New Testament.
    It was amazing to see the Book as well,as the Library . The Library was just as impressive.    Leer más

    Hidden Gems of Dublin / Whiskey Tasting

    9 de septiembre de 2024, Irlanda ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Today we did a Geru Free walking tour of Dublin called Discover Dublin and Hidden Gems. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about Dublin and Ireland history.
    We went through St. Stephen’s Green ( a park) past the Parliament buildings, along the famous Grafton Street , the Temple Bar area ( which is a neighbourhood and a bar), Trinity College, Dublin Castle and Christ Church Cathedral plus other points of interest.
    We saw many statues including one of Molly Malone a famous women fish monger who in the morning went with her wheelbarrow to the docks to get fish and mussels and walked around the streets of Dublin selling her fish,and in the evening she was a lady of the oldest profession.

    After our tour we met up with our friends Dave and Marilyn and had a pint of Guinness and a hearty lunch.

    After lunch the girls headed out to listen to some live music at Temple Bar while Dave and I went to Jamison’s for a distillery tour and a 3 whiskey tasting plus a special cask draw sampling .    Leer más

    Afternoon Tea and Riverdance

    8 de septiembre de 2024, Irlanda ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Our plane landed early and both our luggage and golf clubs made it to the luggage carousel before we did (Calgary Airport Authority could learn from Dublin on how to quickly deliver luggage)

    Our room was not ready so we popped into the hotel pub for a quick bowl of soup and the inaugural Guinness. After lunch we did a quick walk and then headed back to our hotel to check in.

    We are travelling with our friends Dave and Marilyn Martin and Marilyn wanted to attend an afternoon tea. We went to one of the top places in Dublin for high tea which included scones , a variety of sandwiches and desserts . The tea I had chosen was a whiskey tea and was delicious.

    Afterwards we went to the final show of Riverdance at the Gaiety Theatre. This was an amazing show and the entire group was fantastic. Both the make and female lead dancers took your breath away with their tap performances.

    In the second act they did a tribute to Ukrainian dancing set to Irish music. The Gaiety theatre is a classic small theatre and a perfect venue to see this performance.    Leer más

    Dublin Castle & Garden 💒

    11 de agosto de 2024, Irlanda ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Die imposante Anlage, Dublin Castle mit Schlossgarten und Außenanlagen, ist uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert! 😍

    Die sorgfältige Gestaltung begeistert! 👍

    Einziger Kritikpunkt ist die suboptimale Luftqualität in Dublin City (Straßen und Autobahnen).

    Dublin Christ Church Cathedral🏰

    11 de agosto de 2024, Irlanda ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Die Christ Church Cathedral beeindruckt mit ihrer Architektur und Geschichte. Das alte Gemäuer strahlt eine besondere Ruhe aus, mitten im geschäftigen Treiben der Stadt Dublin an der Winetavern St. Die kunstvollen Fenster erzählen Geschichten vergangener Zeiten. Ein Besuch dieses Ortes lädt zum Innehalten und Nachdenken ein. Die besondere Atmosphäre der Kathedrale berührt die Seele.
