Having some Irish heritage and always hearing good things about the country, it took me longer than I planned to visit.

Cathy and I did a relatively quick around Ireland tour on the Iarnród Éireann.  Dublin, Galway, Killarney, Cork back to Dublin where we parted and I continued on to Belfast.

Anyway we loved these streets, with the bit of colour people choose for their homes making all the difference.  The Co-Op in town with it's vegetarian eatery we ate at multiple times. Generally we were quite enchanted with both the city and the country.
