We checked into our hotel at Wexford at 7:00pm then had dinner at the restaurant inside, Stir. There was a special on for a family of four for €50.

From the kids menu we got roast chicken breast...

We drove up to the town of Waterville, part of the Ring of Kerry, and had lunch at The Lobster, which was overpriced. Dad’s fish and chips were €12.95, mum’s seafood chowder (a small bowl with garlic bread) was €4.95 and my chicken sandwich, which was pretty much the same as the one I had bought earlier from a petrol station kiosk but with white bread, was €3.95.

The receptionist at the hotel recommended a pub just 100m down the road called O’Sheas if we wanted to sample Irish fare. I had Irish lamb stew with root vegetables (€10.25), A2 got spicy vegetables in an Irish pancake (€9.50), dad had a confit leg of duck with red wine jus (€10.25) and mum had leek and onion soup with wholemeal bread and meatloaf with potato and onion mash, veggies and onion rings and a cup of tea (all for €9.95). The food was really good. The bread...
