Woodlands Waterford

Well as it turns out, I chose a good week to visit Michelle and George, as they had already planned a weekend of surfing on the West Coast.

The day started off right, with a proper Irish breakfast. As Michelle puttered away with breakfast prep, George rolled in, busy getting his gear ready for the weekend.
'Do you have any pudding?' he inquires
'no' is the sheepish reply
'well it's not exactly breakfast without pudding now is it?'

Michelle can ...

... British mind you, so I'm inclined to think option B was more likely.

I chuckled to myself as I spotted a girl, about 7 or 8, sitting across from me. She was half-finished her dinner, and was inspecting the chocolate mousse with an expression that bordered between confused and disgusted. She took a couple curious bites, then pushed it away.

The philosophy "if you set your ...

... around the town, taking in the historical cathedral, Reginals tower (viking built), peoples park and the old city wall. Then we headed off across to Kilanery. We stopped off at the Waterfor Crystal visitors centre.. just some lovely crystal here, famous for their sporting trophies, ie Wimbleton and golf and also the Ashes!

We drove thought some lovely country side and towns such as Currich-on-Suir and stopped at Cahir to have a look at their castle ...

... room, poured wine and scotch and settled down to watch the ferry crossing.
The next morning we had a wonderful breakfast and a long walk on the soft sandy beach. We walked until we found the fairy rock, (Phil told us a story about the rock so we had to walk there). Jim collected rocks all along the way. I collected pebbles. The wind felt so cold when we turned back to the house. My ears were throbbing ...

... we ended up *t * honky tonk b*r. Under * bridge. In the middle of nowhere.

After dinner, we went b*ck to Foxmount *nd even though it w*s ne*rly 8 pm, the sun w*s shining like high noon, so we went out *nd got ice cre*m *nd l*id on the gr*ss in the sun. It w*s bliss.

Check out the pics to see wh*t gre*t we*ther we got tod*y. You know how sometimes you h*ve * d*y th*t you remember bits *nd pieces of throughout your whole life? I think tod*y w*s one of those d*ys.

... motel - very nice indeed. We have a view of the River Suir (we are not sure how to pronounce this and too scared to ask so as not to upset them). Like all towns the traffic is heavy and gridlocked. Mixture of cars, buses and trucks all on the tiny roads built 200 years ago.... We suggest that a major road upgrade is needed if they want tourist to visit this beautiful country. The housing estates (scheme's) are being built everywhere, so the ...

... at home. Now, spending it on a beach with a few tinnies can't be complained at - however you do realize how much you miss the whole family, turkey, Only Fools n Horses repeats and fallen asleep at 8pm stuffed side of things!!! For New Year I met up with Noel and the lads and we all celebrated New Year in Prague. Had a wicked time over there, it's a really beautiful city and the people were lovely. My only tips would be....beware of the evil absinthe (that stuff is certified loony ...

... party. One part of the group is obviously wanting to have some big nights out on the Guinness enjoying the local craic, before stumbling into the room in the early hours a little the worse for wear and generally causing a continual nuisance to the other, more refined part of the group. But it was something we had discussed in the months previously and Nanna promised to at least try to be on her best behaviour.

... to Waterford. And there was no other more important place to stop then The Waterford Crystal Factory. We arrived into town about 3 and headed straight there and ad a look around. Then after being tempted to purchase but resisting we jumped back in the car and headed off towards Cahir to find somewhere to stay and being in a nice spot for a start tomorrow.
