The Causeway Coastal Route

On May 31, 2019 By redpathateaseIn IrelandLeave a comment

We rose this morning, had a quick breakfast then walked down to the Carnlough harbor. It was yet another film location, for which I'm now calling GoT, as I'm beginning to tire of writing it out. Supposedly Arya came up the harbor steps out of the water there. That done we closed up the house …

Winterfell

On May 30, 2019May 30, 2019 By redpathateaseIn Ireland2 Comments

This morning we got up in sufficient time to reach Castle Ward outside of Downpatrick, to meet our booked Game of Thrones event. We packed up and cleaned up the house, locking the door and dropping the key into the mail slot. We drove out of Newcastle and found our way to Downpatrick and out …

Newcastle

We all woke having had the most restful night of our journey thus far. It helped that we were in a private cottage with two bedrooms and tremendously comfortable beds. We had decided last night on a plan A and plan B for today, depending on the weather once we arose this morning. While having …

On the Road Again

On May 28, 2019 By redpathateaseIn IrelandLeave a comment

It was an interesting night at the hostel... lived up to the review comments we read prior to booking. It was rather noisy from the pub below and it had limited electrical outlets. However, the 8 bed room we were assigned was clean and the bunks were comfortable enough. Only one other resident had come …

On to Ireland

On May 27, 2019May 27, 2019 By redpathateaseIn Ireland4 Comments

Well, someone crazy booked an early morning flight from Reykjavik to Dublin. Yeah, that would be me. It's why we chose to stay at the old base by the airport. It still necessitated a 0330 wakeup to be ready for the 0430 shuttle to the airport. All went rather well, though I think fewer machines …

Reykjavik

On May 26, 2019 By redpathateaseIn Iceland2 Comments

Our last night in our Kuku van was a little bittersweet. We'd quickly grown accustomed to the compact space and our daily routine. Plus, we enjoyed being able to drive were we wanted and stay where and how long we wanted. Our only no-no with the van was for us to not drive on the …

Hot Springs, Cold Days

On May 25, 2019May 25, 2019 By redpathateaseIn Iceland1 Comment

We gave ourselves a sleep-in this morning, not rising until 8 AM. We got started on our usual morning routine, with Crosby starting up the stove to heat the pan of water for our coffee and tea. While he did that I began breaking down the lower bed and putting it back to bench seats …

The Golden Circle

On May 24, 2019May 24, 2019 By redpathateaseIn Iceland1 Comment

After a restless night for me, I was surprisingly the first to rise after the alarm went off. We again wanted a fairly early start to beat the crowds as today we were heading to the three most popular sites in Iceland to visit. They are spectacular, but they are also somewhat close to Reykjavik, …

Iceberg Parade and Stair Escapade

On May 23, 2019May 23, 2019 By redpathateaseIn Iceland2 Comments

We decided to get an early start for the day to hopefully to avoid other tourists, as there are more now the closer we get back to Reykjavik. We've been spoiled thus far being in more remote areas. To facilitate the early rise Crosby cleverly placed his phone up by the front seats so he'd …

The Southeast Fjords

On May 22, 2019May 22, 2019 By redpathateaseIn Iceland4 Comments

The morning got off to a relative late start as we had stayed up for the kids to watch the show finale. After breakfast we walked around the charming town, surrrounded by mountains and waterfalls and directly on the fjord. This is the port where a ship sails in from the Faeroe Islands, Norway and …
