Also (though not sure if you're into this sort of thing, but:- I also love the Ulster-American Folk Park in Omagh:- all the old houses of the famine, old schools, churches, old coffin ship, then the new world of America & the houses they built over there. All the guides are dressed in typical clothing & they make products of that time.
I really love that sort of stuff so I've been there 5 or 6 times, but maybe it's not everyones cup of tea.

The Ulster-American Folk Park is brillo and the actors in the house REALLY get into their parts. When I was there my niece asked 'what is that sack in the corner?' and I said 'that's where the people used to sleep' and the woman in the house said, 'no, that's where we DO sleep'....:eek:

If you're looking for someone to do over the may bank holiday weekend I'm available. If not, you could always go karting, it's great craic. I'm on the west of the country so I've no idea where you'd go to do it, there is a great track in Galway though.

Oh that sounds interesting. There used to be something similiar in Dublin many years ago showing how the Vikings lived.

I was there with friends and one of them kept asking the locals "where in the crib the magic happened?"

Yeah, St .Audeons Church, went there on a school tour once. Great Craic. You went down a 'time machine' (a lift) and came out in 'Vikingland'. There was what I thought was a mannequin man and I tweeked the nosehair sticking out of his nose and he jumped up and frightened the bejayseus of out all the 5th class students. He then took us around his 'village' and we were talking to all the locals.

One of the actors had 20 carrolls hanging out of his britches - didn't know they had carrolls in viking times!!!!
