点评:Hi, I visited the amazing Waterford treasures including Bishops Palace on 7/10/25. With 2 friends who had travelled over from England for their first visit to Waterford.
First is the operative word, in that time again Waterford was to the fore in achievements. Ie The first Viking settlement city, and the first time the Tricolour was flown in public. Also the first city to receive assent from Henry the 8th in Ireland.
Not forgetting the venerable Monk Luke Wadding who was
to the fore, and collated the list of Catholic saints while in Rome. He included St Patrick, and gave the world its first Universal Saint, and who is synonymous with Ireland.
Ronald Reagan US President tells a wonderful deadpan joke about St Patrick...look it up on You Tube!!!!
The epic walking tour was so informative, and the guided tour of the Palace was hilarious, and both the Silver & Time museum have a wow factor.
From myself a Waterford native and my two Yorkshire England friends Nicky & Julie.
Cead Mile Buichas..A Hundred Thousand thanks.

翻译:大家好,我于2025年7月10日参观了沃特福德令人惊叹的珍宝,其中包括主教宫。和两位朋友一起,他们是从英国过来的,也是第一次来沃特福德。
首先要说的是,沃特福德在当时的成就中再次名列前茅。它是第一个维京人定居的城市,也是爱尔兰历史上第一次悬挂三色旗。它也是爱尔兰第一个获得亨利八世批准的城市。
当然,还有德高望重的卢克·瓦丁修士,
他是一位杰出的人物,在罗马期间整理了天主教圣徒名单。他将圣帕特里克列入名单,并赋予了世界第一位普世圣人,圣帕特里克也成为了爱尔兰的代名词。
美国总统罗纳德·里根讲了一个关于圣帕特里克的精彩冷面笑话……去YouTube上看看吧!
史诗般的徒步之旅内容丰富,宫殿的导览游也非常有趣,银器博物馆和时间博物馆也都令人赞叹不已。
谨代表我本人(沃特福德本地人)以及我的两位英格兰约克郡朋友 Nicky 和 Julie。
Cead Mile Buichas……十万分感谢。
Slan go foil……期待与您相见……
