First day around Limerick

With a rather ordinary start, I woke late after a "jetlag nap". However for a nap, it was welcome sleep.

Given it was only Monday afternoon, it was time for a meal and some wandering around. The meal was some seafood chowder from the pub/cafe in the Hotel. That was really good stuff. That with some hot tea made for a really good lunch / brunch.

Post meal, the sun had set - which in Ireland means it gets cold so very quickly! Fortunately, I brought a coat that can handle it.

We headed out and walked along the Shannon River. With the Christmas lights and decorations up, it was post card picturesque. Limerick decorates each major road down through the marketplace are a little different. It's like a giant themed decoration, with subtle variations along each road. Sometime later in the week, I have to walk down there and walk from block to block and see if I can get the entire display they set up.

I did manage some pictures along the river, nothing too much as the light was poor. However I did manage to get a few that look pretty good.

Overall a slow start to the week, but since we'd just arrived this morning - as Ireland recons 'morning - a slow start is probably a good speed for the week.
