Rocked up to Murrays the Erocar agent about 10 after a giant Buswells breakfast and a lovely walk- chaos rteigned- ;Lots of disgruntled customers waiting for cars and muliple harrassed staff!Not a car in sight- allegedly hold up at Shannon airport- retired to a coffee shop as you do and rang the hotel to put our packed luggage in the foyer so they could relet our rooms.Walked back to Buswells and cooled our heels till the car arrived about 3 oclock-a day wasted in Dublin esp as we wanted to get to Newgrange and see it in p.m. Finally got to newgrange after C negotiated the Dublin one way system using SaTNAV TOMTOM-staff understood out plight and put us in the first group for Fri a.m so we went to our grand sounding B and B- turned out to be clean but basic- landlady in the wrong job.
Slept well and set off early to newgrange- amazing neolithic tomb-most interesting and then we set off for Strokestown Museum and house- a run down Georgian house with intact furnishings and kitchen-lots of children with slack parents were touching furniture, books etc. and eating crisps. Grrr!
Famine museum interesting. Had great mushroom soup for lunch.
Off to Kinvarra - peak hour traffic at end slowed progress and small fine rain but not cold.Arrived at B and B- lovely- Fort View.Had a great meal at Keogh's Giant oysters and great steak.
