We left Limerick later that morning and headed along to Bunratty Folk Park where we enjoyed exploring the castle and the parks extensive grounds. As well as seeing Durty Nelly's Inn and Pub ( One of Ireland's Most Famous ). Nelly being credited with creating the famous Blessing : For the full story go to http://www.durtynellys.ie/history.htm

 Nelly's Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
