  • Dublin

    July 18, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Busy busy day walking over 10 miles round Dublin. Visited the natural history museum and the emigration museum but best of all the Jeannie Johnson ship which took the Irish to Canada (paid customers) returning with timber during the potato famine mid 1800s. Then, of course, the compulsory Guinness in an Irish pub listening to live music!Read more

    Up early and on our way to Wild Atlantic Way stopping off at various places. Came across a disused railway line, now cycle/walking path with cafe. Very friendly and invited us to stay the night, leaving toilets open and letting us fill with water after closure of cafe. So so nice.Read more

  • Dolphin trip

    July 27, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    After a morning walk, treated ourselves to a dolphin sightseeing trip. Started to worry wasn't going to see any, suddenly they appeared and what an excellent performance. Then had problems getting back into harbour when the new fangled electronically controlled lock gates failed and had to be manually operated.....after a long wait! Later took the car ferry over the estuary to save 87 miles. Found another nice park up for the night!Read more
