Celtworld

My buddies and I heard about this place after visiting the Waterford Crystal Factory and decided to check it out for ourselves. It was billed as a Seaside attraction to teach both tourists and natives alike what it was like to be a Celt in early Ireland.
Our tour started out well, as we were led into a room where a video presentation ensued that told of old Irish folklore and customs. As a descendant of Ireland myself, I’ve never heard a lot of what we were being taught and so, I found it most interesting.
After this portion of our tour was over, we were led to another area which was decorated to give the feeling you were actually in an old Celt village. Let’s just say they meant well. I think we must have been there at the end of the day because the staff seemed a little «punchy». For instance, there was a fake decapitated head hung from a tree who’s mouth moved when someone spoke from behind the curtain. It would «speak» to people below it as they’d pass by. «Hey, would you scratch my nose?»…or, «Today is my Birthday!» were some of the sillier rants. I’m sure it was intended for more serious instruction. I’m embarrassed to admit that this was the highlight of our visit to Celtworld and we still talk about that head to this day.
Well, what can I say? It was FUNNY! (maybe you had to be there.)
