The King is dead, long live the Queen



Back in Dublin and the revolution is on. The Tour Director for Ireland has resigned and the Tour Director for the UK is taking over. We are camped with our hosts Dee and Liam at Brookville House near Blackrock and a little to the south of Dublin. The Irish car has been returned and early tomorrow morning we will be on the fast ferry over to Holyhead.

There has been a minor revolution this evening and Yvonne has emerged as the Tour Director for the next stage of the travels. Long live the Tour Director.

The former Director was last seen staring over the waters and wondering how this revolution emerged. This is a good thing, he muses. Now he can sit back a bit and do some Tom Tom assisted navigation around Wales and Scotland before we get to the key Kingsley boat people in Bedford towards the end of next week.

We are more than satisfied with our travels around Ireland. This trip is at least on a par with other extended trips we have made over the last few years. We think we covered quite a bit of country, nearly 4,000 kms of driving, many kilometres of walking and we have talked with a lot of very friendly and helpful natives. We have enjoyed every minute, even the rain in Galway is well into our past.
