It is always sad when a wonderful trip comes to an end. This is the last day in Ireland as tomorrow we board a flight back home. If it has to be the last day let it be in the lap of luxury. We are staying at the K Club and it is as though we were actually part of the aristocracy. The property is a great mansion with the most beautiful grounds. The weather has held so everything is bathed in sunshine along the banks of the Liffey River.
Not only can you stay here and feel royal but you can participate in the royal pastimes. Kildare County where we are is the home of the Irish stud so, of course, we wanted to go trekking. Fly Fishing seemed just right and it was a great time. It is hard to learn how to cast but once mastered it is a thing of beauty. Unfortunately we didn't seem to fool any fish except, of course, the big one that got away.
On a funny note and to point out some of the unusual customs of this wonderful country we learned that new drivers had to be branded somewhat like the Scarlett letter. Here are two cars we saw parked next to each other at the K Club.
There is the Learner's Permit and the Novice Driver!
