Arrived tonight in this brilliant Irish town on the west of Ireland! Spent much of the night playing hide and seek with a very drunk Irishman who apparently misunderstood 'no' for 'yes', which Colin McCreedy (his real name, not joking), our tour guide had warned us about.
Today we braved 100km/hr winds to see the Cliffs of Moher, absolutely stunning natural beauty. Unfortunately I spent most of the time concentrating on keeping my feet on solid ground. Holy shit the wind was strong! Or as the Irish would say, Jesus! (I cannot even count how many times Colin has said that, it is an ongoing joke, particularly for the French in our group who would never hear that in France.)
Tomorrow we are going to kiss the Blarney Stone!
Ireland is beautiful and so much like New Zealand! It is wonderful to feel so at home.
Bar the 1000 year old stone walls built by the slaves who were subsequently shot....
To be sure, to be sure.
