Two Irelands, Two days

Our next adventure begins , and this time we are early at the Beauvais Airport and the flight is expected to be on time.

Our breakfast consists of a baguette (jambon cru avec Mozza), a cup of tea and a bottle of water (for my 22 tablets).

Let's hope for an uneventful journey to Dublin !

Ryan Air does well this time.  Plane leaves and departs on time.  Therese and I manage to sit together at the back of the plane, a great position until we realised that we were next to the rear toilets.  Memories of 1992 and Al Italia !

We arrived after a short and uneventful flight, caught a bus into town and 

Dublin, best moments :
