Green green Ireland....

I'm not on the gravytrain, but I am definately on the paddywagon! Today is my last day of the short tour. We have visited 3 castles, 1 lake, a national park, rocky house thingy's and a cathedral. The coach driver really has a good knowledge of Ireland, and say words like "like" and "feck" quite alot. Feck seems to be the afrikaans equivilant of "bliksem", which is not a too harsh word, but can be. Everyhing is green, and people like wearing green. Thursday we spend the night is a town called Killarney, and there I found a little pub called the Speakeasy Bar. Which has quite some significance to me as I was part of support group for stutterers called Speakeasy for many years. Secondly there is a in-the-ear device available that can reduce stuttering by Delayed Auditory Feedback, this devie is called......the Speakeasy device. I did not have a drink there for reason No 1. I am a responsible young man, No. 2 I am travelling on a showstring budjet and No. 3 They aren't open at 8 o'clock in the morning, when I found them. I also kissed the balrney stone! Yeha ! Now I am blessed with 7 years of eloquence...........Amazing the trade of tourism, travel thousands of miles, pay many many pounds, and kiss a rock. :) No wonder the Irish are such fast speakers with blarney stones and speakeasy bars like. C some photos
