Christmas in Ireland with chauffeurdrive

The doorway into the Portal Tomb at Newgrange. Note the box shaped opening over the door. This is the opening through which the suns rays penetrate all the way through the narrow passageway right to the heart of the tomb during this week's Winter Solstice. It is hard to imagine just how people five thousand years ago had the expertise to calculate all the nescessary angles to allow for this. The actual building of this huge mound with all of its colossal boulders which had to be transported to the top of this hill is also amazing. Some of the huge white rocks guarding the entrance had to be brought all the way from county Wicklow many miles south of here.
The picture of this woman descending from the top of the mound gives you some idea of the size of the tomb.
Now you can get an even better idea of how magnificent this structure is. In this picture you can also see the white stone that was brought from Wicklow.

Christmas week is now upon us and the excitement of it all is now begining to show, especially amongst the children. Recession or no recession, Santa has to appear. Needless to say, i am taking it easy right now and glad of the rest. My work at this point in time is mainly dealing with enquiries so if you are planning an Irish holiday and thinking about chauffeurdrive/car and driver, then just let me know.
I wish you all a very happy and peaceful Christmas and a New Year full of hope and good health
