I used to have hair during the mating season but have been "mated" for so long I no longer need the hair. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bstrauss3 Posted May 8, 2020 #332 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Well, those of us who left in Southampton and flew back to the US have been back at work for three days now. Finally over jet lag, but it seems such a blur ... one day runs into another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, your photos bring back lots of pleasant memories. Once we walked up all those stairs to reach the neighborhood above the terminal and eventually passed those house you show--kinda like San Francisco.

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted May 8, 2020 Author #339 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Before our walk around the port we met a guide who took us around the Ring of Kerry on a quick tour with only a couple of stops for photos . We stopped at Sneem outside of Dan Murphy's Bar . The words on the placard were words from the song The stone outside Dan Murphy's door . The Stone Outside Dan Murphy's Door The Dubliners There's a sweet garden spot in our memoryIt's the place we were born and rearedIt's long years ago since we left itBut return there we will if we're sparedOur friends and companions of childhoodWould aemble each night near a scoreRound Dan Murphy's shop and how often we satOn the stone outside Dan Murphy's door Those days in our hearts we will cherishContented although we were poorAnd the songs that we sung in the days we were youngOn the stone outside Dan Murphy's door When our day's work was over we'd meet thereIn the winter or spring just the sameThen the boys and the girls all togetherWould join in some innocent gameDan Murphy would take down his fiddleWhile his daughter looked after the storeThe music did ring and sweet songs we would… Source: Musixmatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted May 8, 2020 Author #342 Share Posted May 8, 2020 We got to Dublin about noon so we ate lunch before leaving the ship and meeting our guide .We wanted to see The Cliffs of Moher some 3 hours drive each way . The guide suggested that we take a couple of different routes to see different scenery . When we arrived it was very windy and it as my turn for a slip in fall - in the mud . We loved seeing the cliff and the tower on top . We returned back on a more Southern route with a detour to the pretty town of Kilkenny . After some shopping we walked down the river toward a castle . We stopped at Tynan's Bridge House Bar for a pub dining experience . With the arrival of some proper pub grub we were in our comfort zone . Steak and Ale Pie Round 2 And for my Irish lass Cheers from Ireland ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlesr07021966 Posted May 9, 2020 #343 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Finally some place I can reply on. My mom took a cruise on the original Island princess. We sailed from Southampton to Rome. We stopped in Lisbon. We did the walking tour with a reward of the walk was a stop at the port institute. We loved it. I have sent many people there. Good friends of mine who loved port said why didn't we know about that place. They went last summer brought me a bottle back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger88 Posted May 9, 2020 #346 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Has anyone really tried it yet? I mean, if you want to have a full experience you will have to purchase those digital glases which cost a lot and also you will need a good video card and a powerful computer. Otherwise it will be no more than just pictures in a medium quality resolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted May 9, 2020 Author #348 Share Posted May 9, 2020 In Belfast we hired a driver to take us to the North coast . The first stop was The Giant's Causeway . We saw some similar columns of Basalt last year at Vik . Iceland . We next stopped at White Park Bay The last stop of the tour was at the Carrick-a-Rede foot bridge . It was pretty long walk to get to the bridge . We took the last 2 photos after crossing the bridge to Bride Island . Facing away from the bridge was a couple of sea caves .
