Kingsbry226 On The Road, pt.2

Second day the road led us to SE of Ireland in to the county Wexford. It was an "early morning" which meant starting the car at 8am ... So not even after few miles backseat travelers covered themselves with blankets and fell asleep but after they woke up we all were ready to discover throughout 9000 years of Irish history in the Irish National Heritage Park. There we walked a path from stone-age until the time of early Normans. Great place to visit with many things to see and do, for example trying to push forward a stone on weight of 2 tons and I did manage to do that. Although guess I have to mention that it was on the rolls which obviously made it a bit easier but still I wouldn't start to build a monument with those stones...


When our "walk throughout history" was over, we turned the wheels toward coast place called Hooks Head. And why? There is located the world oldest lighthouse which is still operating. Listening the tour and climbing up the lighthouse was worth, such a great view over the sea and along the coast.

Last but not least on the way back to Maynooth we stopped in New Ross, "the emigrant town of Ireland" where during 19th century lots of people have gone on their way to reach United States, including John F Kennedy's Great Grandfather in 1849.
