Tanks Ireland, it's been grand!



And so concludes the first leg of our journey. We have loved Ireland, it’s beautiful country side, amazing weather and wonderful people.

A few observations...

1. You know you’re in Ireland when the signs are in Gaelic first and English second
2. The people are incredible. A taxi driver took the time to draw us a map, shake our hand and wish us well
3. There are almost more tractors on country roads than cars
4. Guinness is more accessible than water
5. If it’s even possible, B&Bs are more ubiquitous than Guinness
6. Colour television is a key advertising point for B&Bs in the country
7. Villages are made up of wonderfully colourful shopfronts and cottages, with flowers adorning every window, roundabout and lampposts

Now its on to Scotland. Looking forward to some Haggis!
