Day no 1. The Irish Adventure begins.....


Unfortunately this day's Blog was deleted by mistake, it explained a lot about our decisions to go to Ireland. I may one day get round to rewriting it. For the time being here's a couple of photos.


Callum and Logan eagerly waiting to board the ferry at Cairnryan.

The rain was off this morning when we woke and everything was soon drying out in the warm sunshine including then trampoline and slide, so by the time Callum and Logan had finished breakfast they were soon out having some more fun in the play area. This was good and it let Joyce and myself get the van tidied up. We used the facilities and it has to be said this is probably the best campsite we have been in this holiday, particularly in regard to the amenities. A huge investment has been made in the Moen campsite. The showering, toilet and washing facilities would not be out of place in a pretty decent hotel. A lovely big clean and fresh building with underfloor heating, beautifully tiled shower areas and full washing and drying facilities, if your camping in this valley then it has to be recommended. It cost 350NOK all in, so no more expensive than some other much less salubrious places we have had the fortune to find. It was 10:30 by the time we drove back into Hemsedal centre and

Captain Callum

Today was a much more calm weather day, that doesn't mean it was nice however, that's not a complaint, I don't complain about things I can't effect. It was dry when we woke up and had breakfast at Doonaha, but by the time the dishes were done and the boys had went outside to blow some bubbles, the rain was soon on-for the day. We headed east through Kikrush, another lovely looking town and onto Kilimer for the ferry across the Shannon estuary to Tarbert in County Kerry. After 10 minutes in the queue we boarded the ferry along with only a few other cars, it didn't make much money on this crossing. However, it worked out great for us. I took Callum out the van and up onto the side of the ferry where there are seats, we never intended to sit there, just to take a picture or two, but the captain on the other side spotted us and shouted over to me and said to bring the wee fella over and up stairs to the bridge. It was wet so the steps were slippy, so we made our way b

Party time at the Voerster's🐖🍽🍺🍸🥃🍾🍾

 It was a slow start for me this morning as I was a wee bit jaded after sitting up with Bjorn the night before, and by the time I got up he and his friend from across the road Andre were quite well advanced with preparing porky the pig for the nights hog roast, but the job wasn't complete and an extra pair of hands came in useful for getting the beast correctly mounted on its roasting spit....its an interesting experience preparing a pig as the first thing you do in the morning,  but I don't mind getting my hands dirty...so to speak, not that the pig was dirty at all but just a large lump of raw animal. After a bit of persuasion with a 3lb hammer and some spanners all the bits of metalwork were properly inserted and clamping the beast on position. Us Scot's are not used to seeing an animal prepared like this and in fact rarely see a complete animal of any kind before it's butchered and into nice little packages, so this was interesting for the boys too...they need to kn
