Top 'o the morning! The Queen and her royal assistant, Ex-Pat, recently visited Kinsale, Ireland, as part of the royal agenda to explore the realm beyond London. The weather cooperated and it was sunny most of the time. Rainy spurts were spent within a range of pubs offering local ales and nourishment.
After a nice breakfast on Saturday morning, we
set out on a walk along the coast. There was a trail that supposedly led to an old Fort,
but we ended up simply finding an excellent view. Ex-Pat pondered life as we checked
out the marina, and the Queen took photos.
The town of Kinsale is quaint and clearly caters to tourists in the summer. We ate dinner at a wonderful restaurant called Crackpots, and watched some "football" with the locals afterwards.
On Sunday, we drove out to the famous golf course - Old Head Links - but they were closed for the season. We did manage to walk part of the grounds and catch the following seascape. All in all, a fun weekend in Ireland and a nice break from the city!
From couch-burning contemplations to seaside Ireland walks in only 24 days! Not bad. Looks like you're settling in quite quickly. I expect wild pictures from Ibiza next, England's favorite weekend getaway spot.
ReplyDeleteTrans-Atlantic Hello UK Ted Heads! Is Ex-Pat pondering life or trying to figure out how many Lillyhammer strike out pitches TL will wield this season? Feels like 102.
ReplyDeleteIs Pat trying not to get his photo taken in these?
