We are currently working on new and exciting tours of Ireland for the 2010 season. We have lots of great touring ideas to make 2010 the most exciting year ever to visit Ireland. For example we are incorporating lots of new and interesting destinations such as The Beara Peninsula, we have new restaurants and hideaways we are looking forward to showing you as well as the old favorites. What really makes Ireland a special place to visit is the diversity of landscapes, the warm nature of the people and the wonderful range of food and accommodations that can be experienced in a relatively short period of time.

Donkey Suckling an Orange

This is probably one of my favourite photograph from the summer that I took. I was on the Blasket Islands off the coast of Kerry in September hiking with a small group and we came across a field of Donkeys. There was about six in all and the one in the photograph took a particular interest in us. I usually carry an apple for the random beasts i encounter when walking .. unfortunately when i searched my bag all i could find was a solitary orange. I didnt really think the donkey would go for it being all hard on the outside and difficult to peel but i was wrong. He got his big chops into it and bit hard until the juice was flowing freely on his big teeth and all over the grass canvas below. In moments he had consumed the fruit, skin, peels, juice and pips ... The funny part was the obvious enjoyment he was getting from having something sooo sweet to suck on .. a big change from his regular diet of poor quality island grass ... his fellow donkeys surely missed out .. so the next time you see a donkey in a field .. sure you know what to give them to produce a sweet smiling photo opportunity !!!!

Recess !! Wheres Recess Gone !!

This wonderful piece of mock- art shows that the Irish still have a sense of humour during the challeging times of our economic meltdown. I took this photo while driving through Connemara. Of course the sign is for a wonderful little one horse village called "Recess" but some fanciful artist added an "ion" to it and it becomes an icon to the dreaded R word .. well at least we can laugh about our predicament and no matter what anybody says its not as bad as the last one .. we can still put turf on the fire and afford the odd latte ( which didnt even exist the last time around) .. so the best way to beat the recession is to laugh in the face of it !!!!! shane
