Ellie’s Week 3 This week has been quite a monumental one, in more ways than one. It started off with a visit to Unesco World Heritage sites of Newgrange and Knowth at Bru na Boinne.

Our First Week
September 6, 2015
Well, here goes, our first week has been fun if not quite the relaxing holiday I think that we had planned.
