GOODBYE+IRELAND

=GOODBYE IRELAND= Leaving Belfast we traveled south towards Dublin treating ourselves to one last look at the coastline. Poor old “Sean”, our GPS Irish voice, got rather confused as we kept on taking detours off his chosen route. We came across a really charming mediaeval village called Carlingford with a round tower, a tower castle and some really lovely narrow streets with thatched roofed houses. Our final night-time stop was at Skerries, another sea-side village which is obviously a popular tourist spot in summertime. We stayed at the Red Bank House that has an award winning restaurant so we treated ourselves to a wonderful meal. And so we leave Ireland after four weeks that have really flown by. It’s a wonderful country - amazing scenery, heaps of ancient ruins and monuments, very friendly people, some great music and pretty good beer too (OK, the Guinness was great!). Look out Iceland – here we come!
