Who has been to Ireland and what is your tips/best advice? Take an umbrella, a raincoat and some boots that are suitable for walking in the mud. There's a reason they call it the Emerald Isle, and that's because it does tend to rain a lot.Ireland gets a lot of tourists, so it's pretty well set up to handle them. There isn't really a lot to be worried about apart from the obvious safety considerations anywhere (don't go too close to the cliff edges, avoid drunken men lurking home from the pub down dark alleyways, etc).Depending on where you come from, you might find Irish food a bit stodgy and greasy. They do like to fry everything. And the emphasis does seem to be on meat and potatoes especially when you eat out, so visit the supermarkets to get yourself some fruit and salad vegetables to balance up your diet. |
