Travelling in Ireland
There’s a reason Ireland’s so green, you know. It’s
because it’s always bloody raining there! And that fact actually makes
it one of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever visited.
We thought we’d go in August. That’s the best time of the year, we were
told, to get some sunny days. We spent the while month there, 31 days,
and we only had 3 days without rain. In August!
Actually, anything to escape Spain’s summer heat was a blessing. We took
the ferry from Liverpool and hired a car in Dublin. Our budget wasn’t
great so we took a tent. Camping, we thought, would help keep down the
cost and if the weather got bad, we could always spend the odd night in
a bed and breakfast if necessary.
As soon as we got out into the countryside, the charm of Ireland had us
under its spell. Winding country roads, friendly pubs in the middle of
nowhere and picturesque villages with smiling, happy locals and quaint
little shops.
Three tastes of Ireland have stayed with me after all these years. The
Guinness, which is creamier and more delicious than I’ve tasted anywhere,
fish and chips in Kilkenny and scrambled eggs on homemade soda bread
with real Irish butter on a campsite near Donegal.
We ended up staying in bed and breakfast places more than we’d intended.
Partly because of the bad weather (we needed to dry out our clothes and
our camping gear) and also because they were so wonderful. Most of the B
& Bs we discovered had breathtaking views of the countryside and all of
them came with a full Irish breakfast which kept us going until dinner
in the evening.
I think this trip was one of the most enjoyable we’ve ever taken. We
went over our budget but it was worth every penny and I’d go back again
to visit the Emerald Isle in a heartbeat. With an umbrella, of course!
