We meet a Melbourne Cup winner

Mel and I fed him.

Tomorrow Melissa and I will be starting a 3 day bus tour through
Northern Ireland. But before that we have spent the last two days just
driving around with no particular place to go. Just driving
around...... I would have to say that this "no planning travel" has
been amongst the best couple of days of this holiday. Equal to the day
spent on the Island of Comino in Malta.
The find of the last couple of days was "The Irish Horse Stud" in
Kildare. In there, just by chance we found an old friend "Vintage
Crop".

He even came over to say hello and get a pat and a feed of some
nice grass. This is Mel giving her a feed. She won her $20 in the 1993
Melbourne cup so wanted to say thanks with a little feed.
Dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe was loud but interesting. Lots of U2
memorabilia, but the driving through the country side, through narrow
lane ways and stopping at small out of the way shops and B & B's has
been the most fun. Looking forward to the next 2 weeks.
