A UN Delegation Roadtrip
An Irishman, American, and Aussie set off for 3 days behind the wheel on the rugged roads of Ireland...
1200 km (800 miles), 15 counties, and about 200 pints later... we made it back to Belfast! From Antrim to Kerry and Dublin to Clare- we made good use of our 3 days.
We took the bus from the Europa Bus Centre to Dublin Airport …
Sometimes you have to break the rules to have fun
... living in castles, but I much preferred the castle's coach house and stables, which have been converted into the Kilkenny Design Craft Centre, containing shops and workshops for local craftspeople. I picked up a Celtic ring for myself and a little something to put in with a Christmas card to a friend this year. Despite their great selection, our hunt for the perfect Aran sweaters continues (and we took the short trip out of ...
On the road
... like order, predictability and relaxation in your life, you probably should not become a parent, FYI). You don't know exactly what you are in for, but you know it's not likely to be dull.

As we arrived just before dark, we haven't seen much of Kilkenny so far. I am going to bed very excited for ...
Castles, Abbeys, and two more curbs
... a soccer field, basketball courts, and picnic areas. Seems like a little less angst than back in the days of thwarting armies with arrows and catapults.

“Great Character, Great Craic! ”
Reviewed Sep 17, 2012
The Metropole pub and hostel was a fantastic accommodation in the heart of Kilkenny! An easy walk to St Canice's, just across from Ireland's oldest Brewery Smithwicks, and easy reach to the dozens of pubs and restaurants that make Kilkenny so amazing! Clean and charming. Fantastic session, great fellow travelers, great staff, great time! Go there! :D
