It's booked. The deposit cheque is in the mail.
On this tour of Southern and Northern Ireland we begin in Dublin with
its fine Georgian squares and lively pubs. Dublin has been home to many
of Ireland's greatest authors who immortalized their country in poetry
and prose: Wilde, Shaw, Swift, O'Casey, Behan, Joyce, Yeats, Samuel
Beckett and more. For such a small island the literary traditions and
legacies are astounding.
Venturing south from Eire’s capital we explore regal cities, Gothic
cathedrals, medieval castles and picturesque villages. We then move to
the northern coastline and highlands of Donegal's National Park, with
visits to Derry and the wondrous Giant’s Causeway. We continue through
the idyllic glens of Antrim ending our tour at the foot of the Mountains
of Mourne and a visit to the Capital of Northern Ireland, Belfast, a
delightful city with magnificent Victorian architecture.
As we tour the Emerald Isle we will enjoy the variety of spectacular
scenery for which it is known: heather-cloaked moors, soaring cliffs,
deep blue lochs and rolling green hills - about fifty shades of green!
We will also experience the magic and mystery of this historic land
which celebrates its past in poems, traditional dancing and beautiful
music. We will kiss the Blarney Stone (an option!), sing at a
traditional Ceilidh and listen to the myths and legends. We stop at
local inns and pubs to join the friendly Irish in a pint or two of
Guinness or a tot or two of Irish whiskey. All of this, combined with
the genuine warmth of Ireland's people, will have you singing the
praises of the Emerald Isle.
