Road signs:
Slow bends
Three exclamation points with the word slow underneath (do not ignore this warning)
Safe Crossing at Zebra Stripes
ramps ahead=speed bumps
picture of a sheep or cow means they can be standing around on the road, crossing the road one at a time or in small groups or being herded across the road by a dog
More driving stuff:
Tractors and tractors pulling trailers of stuff -like spuds- are slow- very very slow.
As a passenger in the back seat I find myself leaning to the right, as if this is going to help the car avoid hitting the hedges and walls.
I close my eyes a bit while on the narrow roads.
Somethings never change:
Fungi the dolphin still lives in Dingle Bay -Fungi was there 16 yrs ago.
Random observations:
Most if not all of the B&B's and hotels did not have a clock in the room or had a clock that did not work. True in both the U.K. and Ireland. One B&B owner told us that her guests take the batteries?
The Irish have a different concept of time. They are not in a hurry except when they walk. I do remember this from my last visit.
The Irish walk alot and on all of the roads. They also drive really fast on their roads.
A expression one hears frequently is, 'please god.' Not sure if it is a question or statement.
The low flying couch was in a small cafe in Dingle, County Kerry. The cafe owner was shall we say, unique.
