County Waterford






It was a slow start to Saturday after Peggy’s shindig but I didn’t have a hangover somehow (Irish Xmas miracle). The Waterford Crystal Museum tour was very informative and you can see just about every step involved in making anything with the Waterford stamp. I wasn’t expecting to see the likes of the Pebble Beach Golf Tournament trophy being made, along with other famous trophies. Recommend it.





















Next step was Reginald’s Tower, an 800-900 year old tower that tells the story of Waterford. A canon ball still remains lodged in the side of it from hundreds of years ago.

 A side note – An Irish person will pass off the wearing of a daggy track-suit out in public as “comfy”. This may be but there is no excuse for the grey or bright coloured Adidas fashion crime. EVERYBODY wears them anywhere and everywhere. My personal opinion is that it is a national disgrace and must be stopped.
