Still in KILKENNY!

Kilkenny, Ireland

Day 120 - 121

Hi there!

We're still in Kilkenny and we've really relaxed! What a beautiful day today as well..sunshine! It was such a surprising thing that people kept mentining it every time we talked to someone..

So we spent the day walking in the Kilkenny Castle grounds...a move also to get fit for our South American TREK which we're starting to think about..even though it's four months away. But it's going to be so full on we think we have to start getting fit NOW...at least stop eating all this Irish and English stodgy food we seem to be ingesting!

We did finally find a place here that was healthy....

It's called SUBWAY!

Arrghh..

No kidding..it's really hard to find healthy places to eat when you're in a little town...and especially when this little town has 14 pubs in it!! And those pubs have the most amazingly cheap pub meals....

Oh dear.

Hey..I have to tell you..last night we went to Langtons here in the main street, High Street, for the comedy night put on by Amstel. It was free entry..free beer..and incredible Irish stand up comedy!

It almost compensated for us not getting in to the Empire in Belfast!!! (Something we'll always think we were total nincompoops for missing it!)

It was so hilarious......the guys were just great...we laughed and laughed. So did everyone else. Everyone was fair game, including us. The aussies in the group.

Anyway...it's just so nice slowing down..relaxing..having fruit and yoghurt for breakfast instead of all the fried stuff...and walking heaps.

We've been drinking lots of Irish tea too.....we just love the stainles steel teapots that produce the best cups of tea. The english had them too..and we've renewed our love for tea..and haven't missed our coffee at all!

We have yet to have an Irish coffee though..maybe tonight!

Hey...how are the Dockers going..haven't heard from you Andy!!??

Just heard there was a bomb blast in London..geepers...they're not having much luck are they. First all the floods..and now this..i guess because Gordon Brown has just been sworn into Parliament they're letting him know he has to work for his money!

Okies..got to go...the internet guy wants to close up!

Love to you all....email me and let me know how're all getting on....love your emails!
