Sligo and then Home
It is funny how I already call Dublin home. Although I LOVED traveling the countryside, I was ready to hop into my cozy bed at my host's house. Before arriving home, we stopped at a castle in Sligo.
Our tour guide had a surprise for us for the second half of our day. At a national park, we toured another castle and played Boda Borga. You are probably think,..what in the world is Boda Borga???? One word: AMAZING! Only 9 of these exist in the world, 8 in Sweden and 1 in Ireland. For two hours we worked our way through 45 puzzles (grouped into 15 tracks) invovling our minds and bodies. You would walk into a room with no clues at all and be expected to figure out how to solve the puzzle. Each room allowed you 2 minutes to solve the puzzle. If you do not figure out the puzzle in 2 minutes, or if you do something wrong, a red buzzer will go off and you will have to exit the room. Out of the 15 tracks, in two hours we only accomplished 2. By the end of the hours, I had bruises on my knees, a cut on my finger and confusing thoughts. Highly recommended the next time you are in Sweden or Ireland (add this to your bucket list!).
The castles look amazing on the outside let alone the inside!I wonder how long it took to build those things.It looks like it would have taken thousands of years.The next time I am in Sweden or Ireland I will make sure to go to one.Talk to you later!!!Audios!!!
