Each way you turn in Ireland you are reminded of St Patrick. |From Shamrocks to the lack of snakes, St Patrick is responsible.
We climbed the Hill of Slane, famous as the place where St Patrick lit the Easter fire before the Druids could light there's on the Hill of Tara. This started the conversion of the Celts to Christianity. There is a ruined abbey there where Christianity began in Ireland. There is also a fabulous view over the surrounding countryside.
We continued the trail yesterday as we made our way back to Belfast. We stayed overnight at the historic village of Carlingford and then travelled up the Ards peninsula past Downpatrick and eventually up to Belfast.
In a few hours we depart by ferry for Scotland.

I wish St Patrick would come over here and get rid of our snakes.
Who did the proofreading? Shouldn't the Irish have been lighting THEIR fire?
Pedant? Who me? (Really it just took me so many years to learn to spell I can't help myself)
If you had to hurry as much as we do because the computer is about to time out then you would not have time to check either.
