Delicious breakfast – great coffee and so much food! The hosts are lovely and so helpful! Nora basically planned our day for us, which included a lot of “steps” but we did it all!!
Headed downtown right after eating to visit St. John’s Castle – like a museum inside with a lot of history! Very interesting. Then on to The Hunt Museum/art gallery. Two floors of artifacts and paintings. Everything from brooches to pottery. A third floor had a special exhibit of 62 paintings from two well known Irish artists – John Malory and Walter Osborne. A guide did a tour and talk of the paintings and even Eldon and Lloyd thought it was amazing. Most of the paintings were from private owners who lent the pieces to the gallery to make up the exhibit. 1.5 hours!
Next, The Milk Market, a large outdoor market with veggies, food, cheese, crafts etc. Dairy is quite cheap here so bought some delish cheese with croissants! Crowded, but fun! 1 hr.
Headed to the local bus station to catch a bus to the small town of Adare, the prettiest town in Ireland, some say. It was a 30 minute bus ride and was lovely with thatched roofs etc. Walked the town, had ice cream and took the bus back to Limerick.
By this time, 5:00 p.m., we were leg and mind weary! Decided to head back to our rooms for a rest and ordered in food! Lloyd and Eldon went for a stroll to buy some sweets and we enjoyed coffee and a treat in our room while discussing the next days plans. We even watched a bit of a championship rugby game!
Off to bed to rest our tired bones and dream of tomorrow’s adventures!
Love to all!!! 😍😍
