I'll try to get caught up on posts. We did not have access to the internet in the places we stayed in Ireland.

Day1
All day was spent traveling#

Day 2
We arrived ok and drove to the church in Limerick. We were very early so we did a side trip to King John's Castle. We went back to the church and changed and attended fast and testimoney meeting in the Limerick Branch. After church we drove to Sixmilebridge(a town) and found a bend and breakfast for to stay for the night.
We went to bunratty castle, but they wanted 15.70 eur for the tour so we just looked in the gift shop and took pictures from the outside. Ate supper at the bunratty creamery.
Breakfast at the b&b was a traditional irish breakfast consisting of 1 egg, toast, cold cereal, 2 sausage links and bacon. Their bacon is ham slices with the fat still attached. Cost was 30 euros each.
Day 3
Left Sixmilebridge and drove to Clare Abbey, built in about 1189. It was on private land and surrounded by a cow pasture. It was very soggy. Drove into Ennis, the county seat of county clare to look around the shops. Most were closed because today was a bank holiday.
We drove to the Cliffs of Moher. One note, the roads are extremely narrow, some 2 cars cannot pass, someone has to pull off the road to let the other one pass. That is a problem because many of the roads have hedges or stone walls right up to the edge of the pavement.
It was exteremly foggy and cold at the cliffs so we did not get to see them. we watched a 3d movie of them and the sealife.
Drove on to Doolin to stay for the night. Stayed in a Bed and breakfast in doolin. cost was again 30 euros each. did some shopping, Grandma Z bought a wool sweater made in the area. We bought a few trinkets.

Day 4
Drove to the Burren, an interesting landscape of mostly rocky ground with a little (very little) soil for things to grow in, there are a few plants that only grow on the burren.
We drove back to the cliffs to see if the fog had cleared and in had so we hiked to the cliffs, most of the hike was uphill, Grandma Z managed it, but it was tough.
Took a lot of pictures and left for Ennis. Seth needed a charge for his camera battery, which he found in Ennis. We then drove to Clooney Castle and Cemetery (out in the middle of nowhere)
This is the likely place we migt have ancestors burried. the old headstones were unreadable. There were new headstones, only a few years old.
We found a b&b in shannon for 25 euros for the night. all 3 gave us a traditional irish breakfast.
We ate at Thady O'Neil's for supper.

Day 5
Took granma z to the airport at 7am for her flight back to the US. She was gone when we arrived at the airport, so we assume she got off ok. Found a geocache near the airport and dropped a travel bug in it. We flew out at 1300 and landed at gatwick near the london temple. Caught a shuttle to the temple, ate at the Peacock, with was very reasonably priced. Buy one meal get the second free. We attend a session which was us and 1 other couple.

Day 6
Up early and walked the temple grounds which are huge. Caught the same shuttle to Kings cross subway station. It was 1.5 hour drive to get there. Walked to a hostel I had reserved a room for us. Paid for the room and went sight seeing. Went to the picadilly circus area. decided we wanted to attend the performance of les miserables at the queen theatre this evening so we bought tickets. Road the 'tube' and train to Greenwich royal observatory, where the prime meridian is marked and the location for greenwich mean time.(GMT) . Found a geocache on the grounds and took the train & tube back to the hostel to get our keys. We could not get them earlier, they were cleaning. We are staying at the clink hostel about a 20min walk from kings cross station.
Took the tube back to picadilly circus and attended the theatre. Very good staging and actors.
Back to the hostel and to bed.
