Hello there. Wondy and I are on holiday again. As it has been raining a lot today and I have a little time to write about the adventures of last week.
We came to Ireland by plane. We had to travel in the rucksack – it was a bit cramped, but luckily the flight was not so long. The woman at the airport looked into the rucksack – must have been because Wondy made noises. She thought it was funny to see us in there. Well, I don’t know what’s so funny about two dolls travelling in a bag. It’s the most normal thing.
We went directly to the hotel and had a rest while our humans went to the pub to have a drink and listen to music.
The next day after breakfast
we had a tour of the Jameson distillery. We had a free drink at the end of the tour.
We had lunch at the Hard Rock Café.
… then walked around the city.
I had to take a picture with the famous statue of Molly Malone.
Thank God the cockels and mussels are not alive anymore – imagine the smell!
On the second day we had a tour on a Hop-on-Hop-off-Bus to see as many points of interests in the city as possible.
Of course works of art are interesting to me as always and I have to pose on them.
Mommy wanted to go to different toy shops … Danger!!!
She didn’t buy anything at the first one.
… but she bought someone at the second one. You will meet her later…
We saw the famous Ha’penny bridge.
… and Dublin Castle.
On the third day we had a tour of Guinness.
… and a free drink again.
On Friday we picked up the rental car and went off to Kilkenny. Daddy is driving and he has got a bracelet to remind him to drive on the left. Of course I could drive, too but he won’t let me.
We stopped at Carlow to eat some sandwiches and look at the castle.
Duckett’s Grove near Carlow was more interesting- a great ruin to explore.
In the late afternoon we arrived in Kilkenny. The hotel is a little bit outside the town so it’s a walk of 20 minutes to the centre – in a bag with Wondy again.
On the first day we had a tour of the brewery … with a free drink again. They drink a lot in Ireland and I think our humans only go on tours of breweries and distilleries because of the free drinks.
We visited the Castle and spend some time in the gardens.
… and we also looked at the town walls.
On Sunday we went to the beach at Tramore. It was quite windy so we couldn’t take a swim although we had our bathing suits with us.
We only went for a walk in the wet sand.
I fell over into the wet sand and got dirty. I had to wash and let the wind dry me. Mommy didn’t want me dirty in the bag.
Wondy didn’t get dirty of course as she kept away from the wet sand – coward!!!
We ate some very fatty fish and chips. I think I need to serve sth. like this to my DCSuperhero friends when we get back.
On the way back we visited Jerpoint Abbey – there are lots of old buildings and ruins here.
Today is our last day in Kilkenny. It’s raining, so there are not many things to do outside. But we went to a shopping centre to buy some things. Daddy bought some reading glasses – he always loses sth. during the holidays. Mostly it’s the sunglasses, but as there was not a lot of sun it was the reading glasses this time. Mummy always buys clothes or jewellery – luckily there was not toy shop.
We crossed the famous Green Bridge – I don’t know why it’s called like that, it’s not really green.
Tomorrow we are off to Cork. I’ll write about that in a few days.
