I stayed in a quaint little hotel called the Railroad Hotel in Limerick Ireland. It is just across the street from the train and bus station and therefore very convenient for the traveler without a car. As I walk along the river I saw many mute swans and enjoyed the peaceful waterfront on my way to the castle (King John’s Castle). The castle was closed so I visited a couple antique shops. I found one to my liking (the owner had a wonderful accent) and bought a pair of Victorian tea cups and saucers for my mom. I think they are simply beautiful and charming… now I just have to figure out how to get them home. :)I did a little day trip to Adare which is said to be the most charming village in Ireland. Honestly, it is really quite charming. I went on the castle tour and our group was only me, the tour guide and a lady from Missouri. It was awesome to have such a small group. The guide was awesome and knew so much and had a wonderfully Irish accent. The highlights of Adare were: The thatch roofed cottages, the city park, and the castle. I would highly recommend Adare to anyone looking for a nice morning or afternoon.
Adare is self proclaimed as "Ireland's Prettiest Village"
