According to this website, Waterford is Irelands oldest tourist destination, having been first visited by the Vikings in 852AD. Somehow I suspect the purpose of their trip was more business than pleasure. Nevertheless, I'm heading down there tomorrow for an extra long weekend that most certainly will not involve any raping and pillaging - unless of course the pillaging is of the type involving creamy pints of stout. Don't expect any further postings here till Tuesday.
