After just one rather disorganised evening in Dublin we were itching to head for our HOME for the next 12 months...Co Waterford that is. Dom headed off to pick up a hire car first thing, the kids and I checked out and patiently (NOT) waited. Four hours later Dom arrived with a rather small family car that we would all ONLY JUST fit in, there are NO Tarago's over here!!! I had thought Avalon House was fine but the kids didn't. "It smelled mum, and there was a group of crazy guys wearing just undies running around the corridor" was their constant chant. European men and their Y fronts are all par for the course of cheap accom in Europe! We need to toughen these soft kids up.
I had booked a youth hostel in a seaside village just south of Waterford called Tramore. I had heard it was a nice place to stay and only 20 minutes south of Waterford City. Well it was nice and we made good friends with Avery and Niamh the hosts of Beach Haven House/hostel. Avs made us feel very at home and gave us good advice about the local area. He and Niamh (proof of how common the name is here) become our first friends. Little did we know that it would be awhile before we made anymore.
Our like for Tramore and the South East Coast was the impetus for us to rent Bob's Lodge (above) out at Dunmore East also a beautiful little village on the coast and 20 minutes South of Waterford.
