Last week I shared a glimpse of Lord Mountbatten's castle. This week we travel to Mullaghmore, a short drive down the road, ang catch a glimpse of the harbor where Mountbatten's fishing boat was destroyed by an IRA bomb as he left port. Mountbatten, his grandson, and a village boy were killed and four others were seriously injured. The event is considered to be a turning point in The Troubles.
Just opposite the harbor where Mountbatten met his end is a shot where they prepare the most amazing ice cream I've ever had. We simply couldn't resist!
Our driver and guide kindly treated us and relaxed a bit while we finished our treats. If you travel to Ireland and have the opportunity to try a "99", please don't decline! |
