We had decided to stay another day with Marjorie and Philip in Enniskerry. This gave us a bit more time to play with the car and go to the Wicklow waterfall which the boys loved.
Today we had another delicious breakfast and then the boys played with Rachel while I packed the car. We used the navigator to direct us and I'm sure it took a long way. Anyway, as it was cool and drizzling, we had no troubles with overheating. It was a pleasant enough drive on the motorway but we didn't see as much of the countryside as I would have liked.
We arrived at Lough Derg around 3PM. The cub is in a little village called Dromineer which has a small shop, a cafe and a pub. The club itself has quite a lot of land and a whole field for camping in. We asked around and found the boat we are chartering from the Irish Mirror Association. Its is the new shape in an attractive light blue shade. Luckily we had asked Kevin Hickey, the presidents husband and he has been very helpful finding sails and ropes.
We took a wander around and found the playground which is next to the cafe and very close to the club. The boys played in waves of drizzle while I enjoyed a cup of team and a scone in the cafe. Around 6:30PM we headed to the pub for dinner. The boys were tired but that didn't stop the silly nonsense at bed time. That was the last time we try them sleeping together.
