Looking for a Chauffeur Driven Vacation in Ireland


What a disappointing month June has been weatherwise in Ireland. The good news is that the forecast for the coming week is good, and hopefully we are turning the corner. It would be nice to see Summer arrive at last. It would be really nice for all the young people who have just finished their exams, as, so often in the past, the sun would be shining during the exams and the rain would arrive as soon as the exams were over. Despite the rain, our touring did continue last week, eventhough i myself was office bound trying to catch up on enquiries etc, and just did not get a chance to Blog. There is a lot of work to do behind the scenes, and there are a lot of enquiries coming in all the time, even for the coming year, so if you are planning on coming over, or even just thinking about it, drop me a line as soon as you get the time as i would like to do my best for you.

This lovely French lady was really enjoying the sunshine the last day i visited the Rock of Cashel. What a nice stylish cap she is wearing. I never got her name, maybe you know her?


If you visit Kinsale, the tour around the town and the local area on this cute train is well worthwhile and saves a lot of leg work.

And by the way, the sun is shining here today as i write.

Chauffeur Driven Tours and vacations in Ireland.

 Today was my final day on this tour with the Rooney's and our one major stop on the way from Kinsale to Dublin was at the Rock of Cashel.  The picture above gives you some idea of what this place looks like but the fact that there is a lot of restoration work going on there, and that there is also an awful lot of ugly scaffolding around the walls, this makes it hard to see it properly. The entire place is built on top of a huge mound of rock. There is a circular outer wall, and inside, the remains of a castle and a great Cathedral and old Round Tower among other things. Queen Elizabeth made a point of visiting here last year during her historic visit to Ireland.

   You can take a tour with this fellow around the local area.
Terry and DiAnn at the Rock today.

Here we have my friends Terry and DiAnn, sitting in an alcove inside the cathedral at the Rock.

I can only say that it was not easy to say goodbye to my friends the Rooney's after this lovely week with them and i hope that they enjoyed it as much as i did. They were great fun and very easy to be with. They will always be welcome back.
