On the Saturday we started off by going to Monasterboice
High Cross. This is a ruined abbey in the middle of nowhere. I’m
unsure of the significance but what remained was picturesque and quiet moving.
Newgrange was next. This is a burial site northwest of Drogheda. Unfortunately
there we too many people in our group (apparently bookings are required) so
only some of the group saw it, while the rest of us went to a nearby pub and had
lunch. We went back to Drogheda and did our own things for the late afternoon.
Dinner was had at the Westcourt Hotel, a rather swank place where the food was
great. Afterwards it was off to another pub, again to continue the
celebrations.
