We are so lucky with the weather... couldnt really ask for more. I think this is possibly the best time to visit the west coast of Ireland as the landscapes and scenary are stunning. Today we drove round a headland in Connemarra - Cashel to Clifden and the hedgerows are amazing fuĺl of wild fuschias. Gorse, buttercups, foxgloves, ivies, pink and blue unidentified flowers, hawthorn and giant wild rhodedendrons - all this against verdant green leaves and a cloudless blue sky reflected in a turquiose sea...
Finally we have made it to Paris. It was a bit of a long travel day - we decided to come by train so we could experience the full glory of British Rail or whatever it's called now which actually delivered perfectly on time... and then the Eurostar which was incredibly disappointing! All that beautiful St. Pancreas Station and the Eurostar is sited in the dungeon... overcrowded, dark, lousy facilitated space... and then the train was an hour late it felt like a long time before we got any fresh air - but eventually we wound up in gay Paree... We navigated the metro and found our airbnb gaff. A mere 70 steps to the fourth floor on a rather lovely winding wooden staircase to a very nice roof top flat which is comfortable and gives a view across a lovely Courtyard with some obviously much posher flats. It's located really centrally about two minutes away from the Opera Garnier so a very good location for getting everywhere...
Ayup you 2! You are doing much better with your blog than I did with mine. Struggled to get power and WiFi, so started writing a journal... and then my pen ran out! ;/ We have just been reading all your updates and it reminds us for our trip down the west coast and especially Connemara - loved Connemara... and I was also blown away by all the fuschia hedgerows and the side of the roads red with squashed flowers. Stunning beaches too. Hope the good weather holds on for you a bit longer. Love from us both :) xx
