Fáilte

Fáilte is gaelic and means welcome. We stayed in Ireland this summer and enjoyed it very much. The Irish people are very friendly, and these places were outstandingly so:

Bridgecourt House B&B in Kilkenny
Maire Rua self-catering apartment in Kilfenora

Sometimes the friendliness of the street signs is a bit overwhelming and you have trouble discovering the sign that you are looking for when you are confronted with a whole tree of signs. The picture above shows a crossroads near Shannonbridge.

The three of us had a very nice time in Scotland in the last weeks. Most people are very friendly and helpful; we stayed mostly in B&Bs and found some that I can't help telling (in alphabetical order):

Aberdeen: Crynoch Guest House
Broadford: Ailean Cottage
Broadford: Blairmore B&B (just across Ailean Cottage)
Pitlochry: Bridge House B&B
