Ireland - Saturday 6/3 - Part 2

A bit of a slog but we made it to Trim. The inn where we stayed was a maternity hospital in its previous life. 

We stopped for a pint at Sally’s - A lot of young guys and not the most welcoming feeling (very unusual for our time here). We pushed on - picking up some carrots at the ALDIs and then doing a stroll around the town of Trim.

Trim is built around the Trim Castle - The largest Norman castle in Ireland - Literally across the street from where we’re staying.

I was very charmed by how quaint Trim is…

Of course on our stroll we saw many ruins - they’re everywhere in this town.

A cathedral from 1206…

There’s a tomb in it that is known as “the jealous man and woman” because they’re not touching.

The other interesting thing is that people believe these two can cure warts. The rub a pin (or something) on the wart and then leave it on the tomb. As the pin rusts the wart will go away.

We also explored a medieval hospital.

And crossed the oldest working bridge in Ireland.

And stopped by another (much friendlier) pub.

After our walk, we fed the donkeys across from our hotel (next to the castle) the carrots we’d bought earlier.
