00:00I'm travelling around Ireland to see some sights that are off the beaten track.
00:04I'm in Connemara at the moment at this beautiful hotel. It's like a storybook.
00:08Here are some of my favourite things that we've done during this trip.
00:19If you avoid the tourist haunts, Ireland is full of surprises.
00:24On a food tour of Dublin, I learn about traditional Irish boxty. Grated potatoes made into fries, bread and dumplings.
00:33Delicious!
00:34Of course, we wash this down with a Guinness and later in the trip, I even learn how to pour
00:39one myself.
00:49Did you know falconry is the tradition in Ireland?
00:52I meet Luke Skywalker, the cool Harris hawk, who flies onto my gloved hand,
00:58while Master Falconer Jason tells us about all the phrases in the English language that could have come from falconry.
01:05Then there is the traditional Irish culture, which I'm glad I don't miss out on.
01:14We see a beautiful Irish trad, that stands for traditional, band play at the oldest thatch pub in Ireland.
01:29And we are treated to some Irish dancing that would rival Riverdance.
01:36Of course, whisky is on the menu.
01:38And I just have to try my hand at playing the traditional bo-run drum with a master bo-run
01:44maker.
01:47My trip wouldn't have been complete without horse riding along the seaside in Connemara.
01:52In the rain, of course.
01:55And making traditional Irish soda bread in a country kitchen.
01:59Yum!
01:59My parents and family,
01:59I enjoy the art hall as a generation of smarts!
01:59Now, I'm sure it's in my home.
02:02I enjoy your 멋진 Ajwari I've seen those daughters and parents.
02:05Yeah, and I would beTalks Đ already and I've seen there!
02:06değilじ fest!
02:07I want to show you for the rest of my world now!
