Dublin – Wexford – Killkenny

We drove to Wexford from Dublin expecting to see wonderful seaside and many things to do and were surprised when this was not the case. Wexford is famous for their Strawberries but we didn’t get to have some for no reason other than we didn’t get a chance to pull over on the side of the road to buy some. We had a nice lunch at French bistro in the city centre where Rachael discovered a new love in her life….Soda Bread! She is hooked and since l think she has had one with every meal.
Leaving Wexford to drive to Killkenny we had to stop just out of the city centre for directions and the all important pit stop in a town called ‘Boggan’ where the name amused us but the key to the toilet was a cracker. The biggest sign labeled ‘Toilet’ you have ever seen, with that thing in our hands it was sure to be the dead giveaway for some 2 guys to provide directions when we didn’t know which door behind the petrol station was the toilet.
We arrived in Killkenny where the famous Killkenny castle is which was owned and occupied by the Butler Family. The castle is set on beautiful grounds and the inside had some very nice antique furniture and paintings. Killkenny was a small quiet town where we went to the castle, watched the World Cup (Uruguay lost to Netherlands) and rested for the next day’s drive.
