Heaven on earth

All my life I had wanted to vist the Skellig rocks and on buying this book one Tuesday arived at Portmagee on the Saturday morning. This book tell,s it like it is plus I managed to take the boat trip with the author. If you love birds and islands you have to get this book. Also when reading this play Phil Coulter lowly in the back ground mise eireann and Mna na h-Eireann it captures the mood and the haunting feeling of the place.
