Where I stayed

Friday, March 20, 2009

We travelled north to the Irish National Stud in Kildare. We intended to go in, but after sitting chatting in the camper (in the carpark) for ages, and finding out how much entry was (11 euro), we decided against it. Looking back now that was probably a stupid decision considering how fr we'd gone to get there.

We cooked up some soup in the camper instead, then dropped Allanah off at the airport. After consulting our trusty campground book, we realised the closest campsite to Dublin was back south again. It didn't look that far on the map, but getting to the tiny village of Donard involved driving all the way around Dublin. The campsite was cute though, with a view out over sheep-filled paddocks, and the campground owner was very friendly.

Unfortunately the two pubs in the village didn't serve food (they don't seem to eat in Ireland, just drink), so we had to go to the nearby town of Baltinglass for dinner.
