Experience the quirkiness of an Irish wedding.

Review by: Chris Bullock on Aug. 11, 2012 :
I enjoyed this trip through Eire and Northern Ireland. I could relate to many of the experiences described in the narrative, particularly the welcoming attitudes and the ubiquitous Bed & Breakfast accomodation. The country is beautiful even if it does rain a lot.
There are a few spelling/typing errors throughout and one or two inappropriate adjectives, but these are largely hidden by the drive, enthusiasm and sense of humour portrayed in the book.
This is more a factual story than a guide, but it certainly gives you a good feel for the country and the people, and its a very enjoyable read.
