Bridge ???
Ask Michelle about her most memorable breakfast on this trip and she will surely answer, Dunraven Arms, portabello mushroom filled with spinach and topped with grilled cheese, served with ham sliced from the bone! I know this to be true because I heard about it for the next fifty miles.We left Adare (fox hunting capital of Ireland), and the beautiful County Clare, where the Rohans came from and headed east to Cahir. There we visited Cahir Castle a small well kept Castle from the Forteenth Century. It seems to be the exception in Ireland because on the whole, there were many more ruins than preserved buildings that we could see. One ruined tower still stood, but it was surrounded be farm shedding can you believe it! We stopped off at Waterford Crystal and perused their fantastic showroom. One purchase. Then we set the GPS for Rosslare. Happily chatting after driving down some very narrow roads, we rounded a curve and came upon a beautiful river view. I have a road map I've been following and I said we must be going to cross over further along and as we went further round the curve we both said at the same time ' um where's the bridge! That's right folks no bridge, a Ferry! the GPS mentioned it when we were about a hundred metres from it. Half an hour and 8 Euro, later we were crossing and then it was straight on to Rosslare Hotel which actually overlooked the harbour where the ferrys dock. After dinner we went for a walk but turned back after 100 metres because of the cold. Off to bed for an early start in the morning. Maree.
