Kingsbry226 On The Road, pt.4

Friday and the last day of our trip so we had a late morning, which means leaving at 10am. Only one of our days when we actually had a timetable because we needed to be in Trim at 11am. At our first day visit we heard about the tour that would take us into the castle grounds and provide a possibility to try medieval gears and clothes, we had so much fun!! Our tour guide was awesome with giving first introduction of medieval weaponry and living circumstances and then telling about the history of the Trim Castle while walking on the castle grounds. After the tour telling us some more about general history of Trim, few “unknown facts” what comes to the braveheart movie and giving us lot of advices about what to do next. Also the visitors centre cafeteria provided delicious homemade lunch and desserts to enjoy with great prize-quality value.

After spending four hours in Trim it was anyway time to move on. Sky was blue and sun was shining, even that according the weather forecast it was supposed to be the most rainy day during our road trip (weird Irish weather), we drove to megalith tombs of Loughcrew (similar than New Grange) which are located at the highest point in County Meath, spectacular views! Especially when being there at the time of sunset was the best possible ending of our road trip to imagine.

Or to be honest, it wasn’t over yet, after arriving Maynooth it was time for Friday evening “family shopping” in Tesco since we had a car on use it was handy to buy all kinds of household stuff (or whatever everyone personally were in need of). 1,5 hours in Tesco, that was my record (show far)!

During those four days we drove about 1200 kilometres and discovered approx. 9000 years of Irish history having such a great time. And “the buggie” showed its power on the narrow streets while driving on countryside or when sprinting to the highway with its 1.2l engine. Still it didn’t let us down and it was a pity to return it and start to live without a car again… But we’ll see when is the next time to go back on the road again ;)
