A few months after arriving in the UAE, Robyn and the kids headed-off to visit their Aussie cousins living in Ireland.  It was mid-Winter and bitterly cold. While Robyn and I had travelled across Ireland before, it was a great opportunity for the children to both catch-up with relatives, and see the Emerald Isle.  They explored Dublin, Newgrange (a megalithic passage tomb from from Neolithic era), and a number of medieval castles.
