Holidaying in Ireland
I finally decided to tour my own country for a change. I picked all my accomadation from www.irishselfcateringhomes.com. It was simple to book my accomodation on line there. I went to Mayo, sligo and donegal. I drove on the coast as much as possible. What an experience. We really have a place of beauty here. I wish more people could and would come and see our beautiful countryside and towns.
