Review of day one in ireland

After many hours of flying and trying to sleep 😴 we arrived in Dublin.  After we retrieved our luggage are arranged for the smallest 🚘 we could get we were off.  Cory is driving and the first thing she needs to remember ................. which side of the car to get in, then to stay on the wrong side of the road.  We have the B&B on the GPS to I navigate and Cory drives.  Every time we make a turn it is my job to say "wrong side, wrong side, wrong side", so we stay on the right side of the road or rather we stay on the left side which is the right side over here.

Then let me tell you about the traffic circles ............ they all have lights where you turn off or enter.  I always thought the purpose of circles was to eliminate the lights but this is ireland so I don’t know.So we are motoring along and are on the highway no problem but then we turn off onto a narrower road, and a narrow road, and a narrow road. The hedges get closer and closer............. the road gets narrower and narrower.  We are now down to a one vehicle slightly rough road until we finally arrive at the B&B which is delightful.  It is an old stone barn converted to a little cottage.  If google would left me add photos I would show you. We have a living room,bedroom kitchen room with a wood heater and a bathroom with a lovely big shower but....... the best thing is the king size bed with the feather duvet.

The owner is a delightful woman who made sure we had everything we needed.  She started the wood stove for us and said the lads would drop the sticks off later.  Okay so I am thinking kindling. ............ but no the sticks are a small log cut in half.  No kindling, she uses a kind of fire starter to get the fire going.

So we’ve had decided to fight through the tiredness and do things today.  After we hauled everything in and got settled we decided we needed to have a nap before going anywhere..................... one nap led to another and soon it was 7:00pm and we were hungry so we head for this little pub.  We are too late for food as it is after 8:00, so we each have a cider. The bar tender and a couple of patrons give us directions to a take out place and a small market where we can buy dinner and food for breakfasts 🍳 and lunches.  Off we go to get some food and head back to our cottage.  After eating and watching a movie guess where we went .............. if you guessed bac to bed you are correct. That was our very exciting day in Ireland 🇮🇪.
