A Tour of Ireland ~ Episode 31

7 Replies

Epilogue

On the 5th September 2010, I began what I thought would be a short tour of Ireland. Little did I realise how much I wanted to include, or should that be how little I wanted to leave out.

Ireland is a small island, but there so many amazing places to see and enjoy. The pace is slow and relaxed outside of the main cities. A Pint can take time to pour and settle, the Pot of Tea needs time to draw and “Sure if you wait five minutes the scones will be ready to come out of the oven”!

So this week in order to help you find your way I will list the various episodes and where they take you.

Episode 1 ~ A general introduction to the series with some useful tips.

Episode 2 ~ Dublin – Getting about and places to see on foot.

Episode 3 ~ Dublin – History, Museums & Galleries

If you wish to hire a car, it is cheapest to arrange it when booking your flights.

If you are hoping to trace ancestry, do as much work as possible before you leave home.   Helen Kelly is a professional genealogist.

This is not the definitive tour of Ireland, it is my personal tour and I am sure to have left something out.  If you do have a query, ask away and if I don’t have an answer, I will try to find out for you.  To date in this series I have written approx  39,366 words, so it is time for me to take a back seat and allow you to digest it.  It was fun.  I hope you enjoyed the tour and found it helpful.

    Well done ma’am – there are so many parts of your wonderful island that I have yet to see. Given time and God willing, who knows … love the place, the people and the pace of life (outside the cities).

    After reading and enjoying your tour of Ireland Series, all I can say is Thomas Cook and Arthur Frommer have nothing on Grannymar.

    The writing was exceptional and I’m sure everyone enjoyed it just as much as I did. Thank you!

    Cardi – I hope that my ‘Tour’ encourages you to visit again in the future. You might manage to get the true flavour of the place unlike the prestige visitors due over the next few weeks, who will be whisked from place to place at the speed of light!

    Nancy – I am pleased that you enjoyed the series.
