We had a tour. Third time I have been in Ireland. I love Ireland. Things have changed a lot ! The economic boom is halted now, but you can see it had taken place ; more and better houses, more food available and diverse. More tourists. And more cars on the same narrow roads, that"s creepy !

I just stayed in Dublin to see Jacques our elder son in 2004; we had a very sunny four days. I really enjoyed the plane journey.
Jacques had a nice modern flat but I preferred "Dublin Doors" which are coloured and have a nice window on the top.

I'll have to go again. I really wanted to see the book of Kells in real, but we didnt managed that. The fly (of course on low-cost fly) is less expensive that a TGV for Paris...The controls are a pain. I was sgruggling to put out my laced shoes, then put them on, with the crowd pushing behind me. There is a little ring of metal on the strings holes !

We didn't go into the university building and didn't see the book of Kells. My husband is never interested by museums. We like good buildings and the atmosphere of certain towns. We like lovely scenery the best.
We went there by RyanAir as you probably did. It was OK and we saw all the countryside under us on the way back.
I haven't yet used our TGV Est to Paris. It is a lot of money. It stops here! We would get there in about 2 hours instead of three and a quarter. I haven't been that way since my father in England died in 2003.
I just took the shoes I wear all the time, just sandals that I can put my orthopaedic soles into. Even so our bags were heavy and Bernard got a bad back on the way home. He almost fell back off the steps as he climbed into the train. Someone put his hand firmly on his back and pushed him. Luckily it wasn't on the first day.

I visited a small art museum in Cork. It was an exhibition of a single artist ; surreal drawings that were in succession on video. I beleive he worked by erasings, but I am not sure, I just guess because of the continuity. I really liked it but my family was outside, waiting in the street. 2 dont like art, one does but provided it is before the Renaissance ! So I am usually alone for modern or contemporary art.

We go together but I always feel worried that Bernard will be bored so I don't enjoy it.

Really a flat sea seen from upstair on the cliff...and the sun was already low on the horizon.

Thank you ! The weather was so and so, but we had a few moment of wonderful light.
Halas it was usually not possible to stop the car to catch those moments ; the roads are really narrow with no place on the side at all.
