Ireland Travel Experience - Part 11

                                                             Connemara Tour - We started @ 6:50 am from Tourist Office Dublin. Weather was normal and it took 2 and half hours to reach the entry of Connemara. It was almost 9:30 am when we reached there.  The tourist guide as well as the driver of the bus was an old lady with 25 years of experience as a tourist guide. She was from Switzerland and been in Dublin for last 3 years now. She was providing abundant information on Irish history, music, games, sports etc as well as on places such as Connemara, Galway, Dublin and Northern Ireland (Belfast). It was really interesting to learn about historical kings, queens and intellectuals such as Henry the Eighth, Anne Boleyn, James Joyce. She even talked more about the history of Gaelic and Irish languages.

                                                   Irish having spoken rarely now a days which contains 18 alphabets. The reason for Irish to be spoken less was it had become old fashioned and not in use among the youngsters. Also it was difficult to learn.She also shared some personal stories happened to her when she reached Belfast the first time and told Irish people are so nice. 

The examples were from Irish Garda being so nice to her serving cookies and tea to her without any panic signals and to find her lost car back to the multistar hotel persons helping her to pull her damaged car which was out of battery with a beautiful Rolls Royce car. With all these narrations and natural view of snowy mountains all the way, the adventure still moved on ...
