South African Couple's Unforgettable St Patrick's Day Experience In Ireland: And How Jerusalema Was An Unexpected Hit

Though it seemed like our trip had raced by, our final day of our honeymoon in Ireland in 2024 had finally arrived.

When we first booked our trip, we were due to leave on March 17 but my wife Farryn picked up that it was St Patricks Day so we decided to extend our stay by one day.

That decision proved to be correct, as we couldnt come to Ireland around this time of year without experiencing this unique holiday .

On our way into town of Bray where we were staying about 40km outside Dublin, we bought a couple green things to make ourselves look more Irish. I picked a green Peaky Blinders style hat, complete with a giant bowtie. Farryn, meanwhile, bought a tiny green Leprechaun hat.

Looking the part with the new additions to our regalia, we headed down to the promenade where we knew the parade would come through.
