Dooleys Hotel Waterford

... Golf). Personally, it was mildly disspointing not being able to see it all being made. However, the tourist info lady said that some people are much more than mildly dissapointed: they show up expecting the tour, and when they find out that it is no longer being offered, they burst out in tears, crying that it was supposed to be the hilight of their time in Ireland! I know this sounds a little mean, but I find this just a tiny bit sad!<br><br>Sean<br>

... It was run by a lovely Polish couple, again lovely comfortable beds..

Our next destination was the Hook Lighthouse, the oldest lighthouse in Ireland. I thought it was in Wexford City so we headed there. We found Wexford and drove all around the harbor area but could not find the lighthouse. I double checked the brochure and realized, much to my dismay, the lighthouse was not in Wexford City, it was Wexford County at least one hour south of our current position. It was getting close ...

... had a flat screen TV in the bedroom and a towel-warmer in the bathroom! (Such luxury). I'm not re-reading any of this, by the way, although tonight I'm on a free computer in a business center. (Last night I used one of those - euro for 8 minutes - machines and lost everything I wrote when I stopped to be introduced to the wife of the tour director! (She and he - when he's not out with tours, of course - live in Waterford, or rather Kilkenny across the river.)

After a good night's sleep and an Irish breakfast, we were off on our journey to the gourmet capital of Ireland, Kinsale. We needed to make a stop at the Waterford Factory and picked up a few of their specialites. The ride to Kinsale took a few hours including a stop for lunch at "The Moorings" in Dungarvan, a really quaint ...

May 14 - Waterford ....Luckily we only had to wait about fifteen minutes for the next tour. After a short video presentation, we walked through the various areas of production. Today being a Sunday meant that there was only a skeleton staff working, but we didn't miss any of the process. We had a glassblowing studio in Bermuda yet every time we see it, we are amazed. We also got to see the cast iron molds being used, the cutting area that would create the intricate designs, the ...
