Day 5
Today we were to find out what travelling in Ireland on the weekend, on a spectacularly sunny day, in the summer, was like!
Left beautiful Borris, making our way to Enniscorthy in County Wexford. One of us was keen to catch the action at the National 1798 Rebellion Centre, showcasing exhibits on the uprising against British rule from that year. Unfortunately, the rebels lost and hundreds of men, women and children died. Unfortunately for John, the Centre was closed!
We continued south to the coast and a little town called Kilmore Quays, renowned apparently for their lobster. Not a lobster to be seen, but there were hundreds of little girls and boys from a local scout camp, making sandcastles on the beach who would have ended up looking like lobsters by the end of the day! We settled for a crab roll, which I must say was delicious!
We needed to go out to Hook Head…..what is it about humans that compels us to go as far as we possibly can, be it up, down or out. I think most of Wexford must have had the same idea because the very narrow road out to the lighthouse was like Pitt St, and every campervan in Christendom had arrived there before we did! Nevertheless, it served as a good ice cream stop!
Leaving the crowds behind, we beat a hasty retreat up the peninsula and took the car ferry over to County Waterford at Passage East, then on to our destination for the night at Dungarvan.
All in all, an underwhelming ordinary day. Guess you have to have them to make the others so special!
