It pays to be organised...but doesn't always go according to plan! We got to John Lennon Liverpool Airport to pick up our rental car, only to find out that our car was not big enough to fit all our luggage! Of course they did not have a bigger car for us until much later, so we waited till 10am on the return of a bigger car...it never came! So we went with a different company and 2.5 hrs later we were on our way. We drove through The Lakes District, the name said...

Not only did it tell us interesting facts about the history of Liverpool, but took us around to all of it's really cool buildings and showed us more of The Beatles monuments and shared some extra facts about the band.

After a yummy breaky curtesy of Eileen at her B&B, we got on the rode again to make our way towards Dublin. We stopped at the town of Limerick, we viewed the castle (yay another castle!) and river. We continued on and had lunch at Kildare, a pub lunch of course as there are not many other choices! We wanted to visit the Irish National Stud but realized that we were short of time, so a photo out the front had to suffice. We arrived in Dublin during peak hour a...
