Last stop tour!

Before we go we're trying to do a bit of tour around all the touristy places in Ireland. well within driving distance anyway. This weekend we went to Glendalough and had a lovely picnic beside the upper lake. While Shane sizzled we watched the children swimming in the lake (didn't think it was that warm) and people fishing.

Next stop on the tour Bettystown beach. We wandered around the amusements for a bit before getting a burger and sitting on the dunes on the beach watching the ice cream man seemingly race the coast guard jeep up the strand. I think half the country had their first driving lesson on this beach. I know i did, i think I was 3 at the time!

The remainder of the weekend was spent shopping for cold clothes which was quite unsuccessful as its still August and the shops were trying force people to buy shorts till. Shane got a coat and sticky toffee pudding, I got nothing somethings never change!

To Blog or not to blog?? that is the question

The new age old question of every adventure is now to blog or not to blog? We're currently on the trial stage.  Now down to 6 and a half weeks to go till we leave the Emerald Isle to head to the snowy land of Canada. We are hoping to be saying goodbye rain clouds and hello snowy winters and proper seasons.
Before that can happen we have to pack up our apartment, sell our car ( still available if anyone wants it???) and resign from our jobs. Its gonna be a busy few weeks.
