The Aran Islands with the Happy Hooker

On June 6, 2019June 6, 2019 By redpathateaseIn Ireland1 Comment

After a noisy night at the hostel, we woke early to get a head start on using the kitchen. Our plan worked as we were the only ones up and cooking. With breakfast done and lunches made we headed off for today's adventures. We drove along the coast to a small town called Doolin, where …

The Green Team

On June 5, 2019June 5, 2019 By redpathateaseIn IrelandLeave a comment

We all had a great night's sleep at the house, waking to make a nice breakfast, lunch and packed up the car. We headed north out of Tobercurry. We aimed first for the town of Foxford to see the woolen mill. I thought it would provide a good juxtaposition to all the handweaving. Unfortunately, the …

The Neolithic Way

On June 4, 2019June 4, 2019 By redpathateaseIn IrelandLeave a comment

We began the day a mite earlier to get a head start. Up before the hostel crowd got to the kitchen, so we had the place to ourselves making breakfast and preparing our lunch for the road. Packed up we headed off toward Donegal town. We reached there rather quickly, considering we weren't on the …

Slieve League

It was a sleep in sort of morning. While the kids still slept I went down to the hostel kitchen for some coffee. There I met two middle aged brothers cycling parts of the Wild Atlantic Way. Not an easy thing to do considering there are no shoulders on the roads, the roads as I've …

The Start of the Wild Atlantic Way

On June 2, 2019 By redpathateaseIn Ireland3 Comments

We woke a bit late this morning as Mandy didn't feel the alarm she had set on vibrate. Not an issue. We got dressed and ready in no time and went to the hostel kitchen for breakfast. It was a lively place with most residents already there chowing down. We packed up the car and …

Back to the Republic

On June 1, 2019 By redpathateaseIn Ireland1 Comment

We woke before our alarm, so took our time getting ready to head downstairs for breakfast. We ate in the little sunroom, with the weather appearing fair to middling. Good enough. As a number of the Irish mentioned, as long as it is not raining, it's good enough. Works for us. We left the Causeway …

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

On May 29, 2019May 29, 2019 By redpathateaseIn Ireland4 Comments

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 …
