A lot of "killing" in Ireland!!!

Kilkenny, Kilarney, kil*&^%** - you name it they seem to have killed it.
Emerald Isle - to be sure to be sure! Plus a fair few Irish bogs. Seems there is nowhere for the water to run so it just sits and bogs and grows good tussocks. But it is a lovely country with terrific scenery.
Big event here today was the National Hurling final where Kilkenny beat Limerick. Could probably write a limerick about that. The fans from Limerick wouldn't think that was funny though. ALWAYS NEXT YEAR. HOPE THAT IS NOT AN OMEN FOR THE CATS.

In the Riverside Hotel at Kilarney tonight with the GLOBUS TOUR. Can't get away from them. Not as good a group as ours though. Miss our friendly travellers and my singing partner Steven. Ron and Donna, you would love Ireland.

The recent history and sights in Belfast were both amazing and a little worrying. We actually drove through and visited the Shankhill Rd area (Protestant) and ther Falls Road area (Catholic) (IRA) The walls of buildings are adorned with murals of all sorts and the wall dividing the areas is still in place. Police stations, courts and fire stations are all fortified and fenced with 20 ft high frnces because of the petrol bombs, grenades, etc that they were subjected to during the worst of the fighting. We actually drove down shankhill Rd as a procession of Orangemen was marching the other way to place a wreath. Eery feelings!

We are both enjoying the food but afraid to get on the scales. Always an opportunity to shed it when we get home.

Well, tomorrow we are off to the Ring of Kerry to see the scenery which is supposed to be fantastic. Will depend on the weather a little. Raining at present.

Little car is going well. VW Jetta diesel - Nearly 2000 miles so far. Maybe another 700 or so yet.

Until next time.
