A tip for travellers bringing home wine from the EU. When asked how much wine have you brought back respond in the number of cases of 6 you have not the number of bottles. I was asked how much wine did you bring back. 60 bottles I said. Your man from the Customs heard 60 boxes and I was brought over to one of the sheds and the car was searched. A little misunderstanding that Iâll be avoiding in future.

The other little tip is to keep your receipts and have them handy in the car for verifying that you paid duty on the hooch.
Any recommendations on somewhere to stay for âcheapâ (by Irish standards) in East Cork? Likely to be back for a couple of weeks next summer.
Hotel or airbnb style ? You havenât many options
Bnb really, or self sevice cottages.

I see Ryanair have a seasonal flight from Cork to Alghero in Sardinia. Does anybody know from when does it fly? Hoping to head somewhere in May and with 2 small kids flying from Cork would be probably a lot less stressful.
Summer schedules in general are usually from around end of March I think. I wouldnât rely on it being the exact same same as this year though.
No expense spared with the poster anyway.
Enjoy it pal
