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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day after breakfast <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

we had a tour of the Jameson distillery. We had a free drink at the end of the tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We had lunch at the Hard Rock Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… then walked around the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had to take a picture with the famous statue of Molly Malone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thank God the cockels and mussels are not alive anymore – imagine the smell!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course works of art are interesting to me as always and I have to pose on them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mommy wanted to go to different toy shops … Danger!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She didn’t buy anything at the first one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… but she bought someone at the second one. You will meet her later…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We saw the famous Ha’penny bridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… and Dublin Castle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the third day we had a tour of Guinness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… and a free drink again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stopped at Carlow to eat some sandwiches and look at the castle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Duckett’s Grove near Carlow was more interesting- a great ruin to explore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We visited the Castle and spend some time in the gardens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… and we also looked at the town walls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We only went for a walk in the wet sand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wondy didn’t get dirty of course as she kept away from the wet sand – coward!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the way back we visited Jerpoint Abbey – there are lots of old buildings and ruins here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We crossed the famous Green Bridge – I don’t know why it’s called like that, it’s not really green. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow we are off to Cork. I’ll write about that in a few days. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
