Weekend in Ireland

A couple of weeks after the Turkey trip, we made another trip away for a weekend in Ireland. We flew in to Shannon airport (near Limerick) to stay at a mates house in a little village called Adare (I asked but Red doesnt live there...).

It was the weekend of the final of the rugby union European Cup and since Munster (local team) were playing against the French team Biarritz, Limerick was absolutely chockers with something like 10,000 people watching the game in the main street! So we avoided Limerick and watched the game in the local pub. The home team won which made everyone happy and in the mood to party.

On the Sunday we went for a little drive to see a few places including the famous cliffs of Mohr, which appears in most Irish tourism ads. A top weekend all round and certainly looking forward to checking out Ireland again sometime.
