Daylight

If you are in Dublin, you cannot help but notice the mad Viking Splash tours zooming around town in their brightly coloured amphibious vehicles - so why not give it a try? It is great fun, especially when you get to Ringsend Basin and drive into the water - after you put on your life jacket. Bookings on (01-8553000).

Nightlife

Siamsa na Gaillimhe is in its 13th season at the Claddagh Hall in Galway. From Monday to Friday you can enjoy music, singing, modern step dancing and folk drama. The show begins at 8.45 p.m. (091-755479)

Highlight

The Skerries Mills in North County Dublin have been restored and comprise a watermill, 4-sail windmill and 5-sail windmill. The history of the mills can be traced back to the early 16th century. The mills demonstrate the use of wind and water power.

I'm bored

Ballylane Visitor Farm at New Ross, Co Wexford, is a working farm that has been run by the Hickey family for four generations. It is set in beautiful countryside, and you can see cows, pigs, goats, hens and rabbits. A walk around the farm will take you an hour and a half (051-425666).
