Ireland: Offaly Tour

29/9/12

We went for the Offaly Tour by Jeff today. We got to know Jeff from the lady at the Tourist Information Office. We paid 30 euro each for the tour (initially it was supposed to be 35 euro but he gave us discount because he said he rushed the tour abit as he needs to be back by 5pm). At first, I thought that his car was quite comfortable but we were defeated by the bulky roads. I got a little motion sickness on our way back.

Jeff provided us with some information about Ireland. We passed by Mark Rohan's house. Mark Rohan represented Ireland and won a gold medal in the 2012 London Paralympics. Read more about him here... Jeff also told us that President Obama's great/great-great grandfather was from Ireland and he emphasised that it was from his mother side hahahah.

 I bought this castle. Anyone wants to visit?

This lady went on the tour with us. She's from the states.

Shannon Habour. This lake leads to Dublin but it will take days...
