Ireland

I have just spent 10 days in Ireland on holiday with my parents. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great but we still had a good time.

Strangest positioning of a monument: One for the first Atlantic plane crossing, the monument was placed 1 mile away from a kern placed 500 meters away from where Alcott and Brown landed.

Most making me feel old moment: Being asked by a kid at the hotel whether I was Molly's mum.

Most painful day: The day after I went horse riding - sitting was especially bad

Wettest moment: On Clare Island waiting for the ferry back - my trousers were see through

Stangest place names: A village called Kill, and a cemetry called Killamora Cemetry, Crump Island

Times the boatman complained about having not divided the bikes among the 4 boats going to the same place making them too heavy for the shallow bits: 17 (my Dad couted not me)

New things eaten / drunk: lobster (not a whole one, but bits with pasta), guiness (only one sip) I say its better than beer but still gross. Also saw the guiness factory: quiz for you how many pints of guiness are made everyday?

Most annoying thing: the bumpiness of the roads - it was actually painful on some journeys

Times gone through barbed wire fence: 4 - once to get mum's golf ball back from a field (it hit a tree) and once to see a castle

Anyway I think that's the highlights covered am now spending the week as Captain yo-ho at holiday club Argh me Hearties
