On to Duncannon via Wexford.

At home, we have bought hay from Gerard Whitty of Wangaratta. He has a relative, also Gerard Whitty, who owns a pub in Wexford, the Whitford Hotel. Because of this, we added Wexford to our itinerary. We expected the Whitford Hotel to be a pub but it is huge, more like a resort. Gerard wasn't there. We had a Devonshire tea and then headed for Duncannon.
Duncannon is another big surprise. We checked into our B&B. From the front, it looked like any ordinary house. The back of the house however was virtually on the beach. The place was purpose built to take advantage of this location with the B&B bedrooms and dining / lounge room upstairs.
Had a long walk on the vast beach which felt like a great workout for the sore legs. We had dinner at the local pub, “The Strand Tavern" and it was the quality of a top restaurant. I had scallop entree and John had breaded sole with chips which were the best chips in Ireland so far. Love their vinegar also. Walked home to sort and write some postcards.
We met an Aussie couple who had been travelling for a couple of months and enjoyed hearing their tales. They loved Turkey and showed us the view from their hotel room of the Blue Castle - amazing! Deb had taken a gorgeous photo of sheep (wish I had got her to send it to me). King was fromSwan Hill and went to school with a lad called Colin Brassa!もっと詳しく
