After a fantastic week and 750km driving we arrive at Shannon Airport. It is sad to be heading home. Ireland is not a holiday destination you go for the weather. It’s a holiday destination to see beautiful scenery, experience the culture, find a warm welcome and have the opportunity to drink some fine Guinness. It’s hard to understand, but without doubt you can’t get the same quality of Guinness anywhere else in the world. They take their Guinness seriously here, unless its near to perfect the publican will soon be told.
We had an incredibly warm welcome meeting family and friends. The most dangerous part of going to Ireland is being killed with kindness. Food and drink always comes in wholesome qualities, which is fantastic, but it keeps temptation always at hand. When sitting in an Irish pub with a drink listening to music, no one cares what the weather is like outside.
We had not visited Northern Ireland before. Most of our views came from the news broadcasts over the Irish troubles. Visiting helps you understand how beautiful the north of the Ireland is and they take their Guinness as serious as they do in the south.
Until the next time Ireland. We had a great time.
