Tourists in Waterford

Monday 17 April

Unlike usually in England, Easter Bank Holiday Monday in the Republic of Ireland was warm with light winds and sunny spells, so the crew took themselves off to seek out the sights of this interesting small city of Viking origin. They treated themselves to a first delicious Guinness with a good pub lunch, and were later delighted to come across a wonderful al fresco concert by the wonderful folk ensemble ‘Newfoundland’. They rounded off the day in the Medieval Museum, an excellent source of information about the development of the city, and were awed by the exhibition of Cloth of Gold Vestments.
