    TOURING IRELAND BY BUS

    AP photo from below-mentioned article site.
    I was just surfing around a news site and clicked on travel for the heck of it and found THIS NIFTY ARTICLE on seeing Ireland by bus tour. The article does carry a caveat or two about bus tours, including this one:
    The bus is an unforgiving beast that travels on its own schedule, with almost military precision. The itinerary is rarely flexible, particularly on days with a lot of driving. Spur-of-the-moments stops are impossible.

    Feel like dawdling a bit in Killarney National Park? Not very likely with the driver waiting to reload the bus. Don't forget, your "five minutes late" can hold up four dozen fellow passengers. That's a lot of animosity to carry around with your luggage.


    Would I do it? Probably, in a heartbeat.

    At any rate, it's fun to read about.
