Hot Water In Ireland, hot water (for baths, showers, and sinks) is done via an electric emersion system. This differs from places like the U.S. where you have hot water on demand. The Irish way may sound technical, but the following guide should help. Master Bedroom Shower: This shower is electric. To operate, pull the outside cord, you will then see the green power light on the shower unit. Press the power button. On the high setting the shower can sometimes be difficult to get the right temperature as it varies between hot and cold with the slightest adjustment of the temperature dial. If this occurs change the dial to fully cold and then adjust up from there. This usually corrects the issue. To change between the shower hose and the rainfall head there is a dial at the bottom of the vertical silver bar. Water for Sinks & The Main Bath: At the left side of the kitchen wall there is a with different time increments (15/30/45/60 mins). For a quick shower or water for the sink pick the 15 option and wait. Longer/many showers, pick the 30 min or 45 min option. Drinking Water :Tap water is perfectly safe to drink. In case you feel otherwise, you will be able to buy large bottles of water in any of the town’s supermarkets Hot Water In Ireland, hot water (for baths, showers, and sinks) is done via an electric emersion system.

After crossing several time zones, many travelers suffer from jet lag. Although there is no way to completely avoid jet lag, there are a number of ways to help your body adjust to a new time zone: Try to go to bed a little earlier a few days before you leave and get as much sleep as you can during your flight. Many side-effects of jet lag are the result of dehydration, so avoid alcohol, coffee, tea and other caffeinated beverages and drink plenty of water during your flight. Eat lightly on your flight and forego rich or exotic foods on the first few days of your trip so that you can use your energy to adjust to your new surroundings rather than to digest your food. Exercising on a long flight will help alleviate such common discomforts as backaches, swollen legs and feet and general fatigue. Stretch at regular intervals and walk up and down the aisles of the plane from time to time to prevent dangerous blood clots from forming. Finally, take it easy on the day you arrive so that you can take advantage of your trip at a leisurely pace and establish a routine in sync with the local time.
