I have always wanted to visit Ireland (& Scotland for my family heritage, my maiden name was Duncan) <br /><br />Your photographs are just beautiful & make me want to visit Ireland all the more! I also like history, to a certain extent. Lol I love the castle, and although I've heard of Game of Thrones, I know nothing about it. ;) The crab fishing looks very interesting & would love to try it myself. Thank you for sharing these bits & pieces of your trip!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562337478486768639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020871316401082930.post-50810947277667145502015-08-28T14:14:32.943+01:002015-08-28T14:14:32.943+01:00Wow what a beautiful castle!

We just found Game of Thrones just like 4-5 months ago and watched the whole series until we got caught up. I just wish there were more happy moments in that show! We just got back from our 12 day camping trip and I put up lots of photos. Pop over if you have a moment.

I've never had the chance to get into it; perhaps I should try to borrow it off somebody!<br />The castle looks very interesting. If we holiday in Norn Ireland we usually only get as far as Tyrone and Omagh, where the family are. Perhaps we should plan a better route next time and go and see more of the country!Angel Jemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915392156232711695noreply@blogger.com
