This was our most relaxing night and day of our trip. It makes me feel calm and serene when I think about it. Some day we'll go back and stay a few more days.
After our walk, we packed up and headed to the Dublin airport to return the car. The hustle & bustle began on the M50.

If our car had a modicum of power, we could race up behind the Landrover and warn the driver. Instead, we watch helplessly as the vehicle becomes consumed by smoke before the driver gets off to the side of the road, then we drive by, having ...

... the exhibition on life during rationing, pre-1990s. Some great testaments I can only loosely paraphrase, from a doctor who was so poor she raised pigs in the spare room, to others- "It was so hot in summer, I used to dream at night of owning a Hitachi fan" or "Eggs were so hard to get. Whenever I had one, I'd put it into my lunch to impress the girls in work".
