Viking history …
The vikings raided Waterford 8 years before they did the same thing in Dublin.
There is a certain pride here to have the oldest viking history 👍
September 2023
Hotel in Waterford …
Our first stopover in Ireland.
First Irish landscapes …
Many green nuances ☘️
Irish road signs …
Reminding us to drive on the left 👍
19 hour ferry trip to Ireland …
But the sea is calm and the weather is nice ☀️
Cherbourg …
Getting ready to board the ferry to Roslare, Ireland.
Sint-Niklaas church in Messines …
A bit special because the crypt was used as a German Head Quarter during WW1, and a young Adolf Hitler was treated for a shoulder wound here.
Imagine how history could have been changed if a british soldier have turned the cannon a bit more to one side!!!!
Messines Christmas Truce …
You may have heard the tale from WW1 where German and British soldier met in no mans land to play football.
This is where it happened 👍
Roundbout sculpture …
What a waste to keep the tap running 😉
