Still heading around Ireland

Dear all. We are still continuing driving around Ireland and are now down on what is called the South East part. We have had lovely sunny days recently with just a little misty Irish mornings while the sun tries to push its way through. All the Irish folk we meet are telling us that the days are just 'grand'. We have visitd some very interesting houses, what are called Manor houses here and Dale took this photo to show you one of them.It was huge inside and while visitors can look around some of the rooms the current Earl lives in others. County Cork which is one of the areas we have been travelling through has lots of interesting and at times funny little statues and sculptures in its towns and also just on the road. We stopped at this one and discovered it was of an actor who lived quite a while ago called Charlie Chaplin. Felicity and Twiga thought you might like this photo of Dale and Charlie.

Wow, What do you think of this Castle., It is called Bunratty Castle and Dale and I, plus of course Felicity and Twiga climbed up very narrow stairs right to the Battlements up the top of the Castle. We were also able to visit all the rooms such as the Chapel, the bedrooms, the great hall just to name a few. You all would have loved it, especially you knights of Glamorgan kindergarten. Dale said she felt like a Queen as she walked around.

Must go now as we are all heading out on a Art trail where we can visit lots and lots of people making pottery, hats, candles, etc. We are now in our last few days here in the lovely county of Ireland and will soon be heading off to Singapore on our way home. Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Keep well., Hugs and kisses from Adventure Bear and Dale.XXXX
