Edge Of The World - Pendragon

Sometimes I feel like a twig floating down a stream
Don't know where it's going
Don't know what it means
And that stream always ends up at the sea
And it's strange, as this is where I wanna be
And I know I'll find those of my kind
To share these words and rhyme



Sometimes I feel like a fish in the sea
And I realise that we're all already here with me



And as I stand on the edge of the world
And I look into your eyes
I realise you're still there
I thought you'd gone, like the windblown leaves
Then I remember in Zabrze
Chile and in Poland our homeland
Dzien dobry, jak sie mamy
I was scared I wouldn't see you again
I just couldn't see how
But from an acorn grows an oak
I should know that by now



So I stand on the edge of the world
And I look into your eyes
And I realise
That this was never meant to end
And I can now call you my friends



Sometimes I feel like a twig in a stream
Don't know where it's going
Don't know what it means
And I know I'll find some peace of mind
And I will always be back some day
And as I travel the far points of the earth
I will keep you in my mind



Sometimes I feel like a twig in a stream
Heading out to sea
It's then I know I'll never be alone
It's then I know I'm home

Baltimore Beacon

The Baltimore Beacon is a white-painted stone beacon at the entrance to the harbour at Baltimore in County Cork. The beacon was built at the order of the British government following the 1798 Rebellion. It was part of a series of lighthouses and beacons dotted around the Irish coast, forming a warning system.

The beacon is locally known as "Lot's Wife", after the Biblical woman turned into a pillar of salt.

More views on Irish coast you can see with Pendragon Tours.

Sunset on the Cliffs of Moher (Clare)

Sunset on the last day of February on of the Cliffs of Moher with Pendragon Tours. Book your own Irish sunset here.

No rush, no tickets, no stress. Pure beauty of West Ireland.

In Black Valley (Kerry)

Black Valley is a remote place in County Kerry. Electricity came here in 1978. Before that date only sun and candles made kitchens of six small houses in the valley bright.



If you get the Black Valley you can find your mobile out of coverage. No calls to your family, just photos and memories.



Weather can change very quick here. Now you see the clouds...



... and after while you can see the highest Ireland's mountain Carrantuohill in the snow.



There is a lot of water in Black Valley. Some drops down from the clouds, some runs down from the mountains.



You can reach Black Valley only from Molls Gap or from Gap of Dunloe. Both roads are narrow, dangerous and long. And worth to make a lot of photo-stops.









There is only one walking trail through Black Valley. No buses, no tourists, no traffic jams. You can only see frightened donkey here, herd of sheep or one of vans with the company logo. Logo of Pendragon Tours. Enjoy.

Black birds on Moher Cliffs (Clare)

Black birds on Cliffs of Moher are waiting for the evening meal. I would say they are cheeky.

Benedictines are back in Fore Abbey (Westmeath)

Benectines monks are back in Ireland. After 473 years they came from Oklahoma to small abbey in County Westemeth. I had a big pleasure to be their guide on early medieval sites in Ireland. 

Benectines monks always stay in their monasteries. But in this case Prior Dom Mark Kirby made an exception and two of new monks were allowed to make a tour with experienced tour guide from Pendragon Tours. The first place we visited was Fore Abbey in Co. Westmeath. 



Ruins of the old abbey are open for visitors but I wanted to show more. Called few days before to make sure that somebody will welcome us. Joan opened her small coffee shop, gave us the keys to secret doors and serve up a nice cup of coffee and home baked cakes. 

Having a "magic" key I opened some doors to show my monks 15th centuries cells. In this time benedictine monks had a meals here, they sleep and read. There was about 300 monks in Fore Abbey! 



Brother Finnian opens door to Hermit's Cell. 

This cell was occupied for 700 years. The last monk passed away in 1616 here. 



Our next stop is Kells Heritage Town. Miss Carpenter is our guide here. She tells us the story about St. Columban. We are in 8th century now. Brother Elijah signs to the visitor's book as "Benedictines from Silverstream".



There are some High Celtic Crosses in Kells. Adam and Eve, Kain and Abel. The same old story.



The Irish Round Tower built 1000 years ago. One of the brothers tries to climb to the entrance. Vikings were here! And Book of Kells survived! 



Slane Hill. In 433 AD St. Patrick set a Paschal fire here. My monks go around the hill in silence.







The last stop in Monasterboice and two most beautifull Celtic Crosses in Ireland. Nobody here, just heritage, silence and monks.
