The Ireland vacation really started in an Irish way, we scrambled around a castle with narrow steep spiral staircases, admired the beautiful park and various themed gardens (rhododendrons, Poison Garden, conifers, and there was also a forest of fairies, witches, and druids. A vacation can hardly start any better.
