Ireland...the Daddy Paul and Celine tour! (July 2006)

With Caroline and Louis married it was time for us to set off to see a bit of Ireland. Daddy Paul had planned our tour, and we drove from Cashel south to Kilarney. The drive was beautiful, and Celine's celtic songs cd really got us in the mood!!! We arrived in Kilarney around 5pm, and finally found our B&B! We then headed into town for some really Irish pub food! That night was filled with listening to some Irish music and watching some Irish dancing!!!! The town was alive! On sunday we did the touristy things....headed to Ross Castle and took a boat ride out to Inisfallen Island to see the old Abbey ruins. Mark found the celtic cross! Daddy Paul saved us all from being stranded with his ore....our boat ran aground due to shallow water and slightly too much weight...and our guide had to enlist DP to save us!!!!! hehehehe We then drove on to the Dingle Peninsula and into Dingle itself, where we stopped for lunch. On the way back we stopped for a paddle at Inch Beach...avoiding the jelly fish! That night we ate snacks from the garage in the garden, before relaxing in front of the TV! The next day was the real final day of our whole trip! DP and Celine dropped us at Shannon airport...and mum and dad collected us at Heathrow! A quick stop for coffee en-route and then we were off home! We called in at Nan's first...she was very pleased to see us; then it was round to mum and dad's for tea, and cheesecake that my brother Phil had made especially! Then home (temporarily) to Paul and Celines!!! (Although they were still in Ireland!!! Paul and Celine's house was quite the traveler's rest that week, as George and Vicky were also staying there...having just returned from Thailand!!!! Wow, here we are, back where it all began! Home! xxx
