IRELAND’S ADOPTED ASTRONAUT Commander Chris Hadfield is the star of four new Tourism Ireland videos about the island.
The spaceman takes us around the country in a series of Astronaut’s Guides, which include an insider’s guide to Guinness and a few tips about how to excel at hurling.
From Donegal’s Inishowen Peninsula to the Wild Atlantic Way, Titanic Belfast to Dublin’s Guinness Storehouse, no stone is left unturned on the astronaut’s journey around the country.
He even gets to practice his cúpla focal with some young students at a primary school teaching him how to count in Irish.
As well as getting to walk down the illustrious steps of the Titanic.
The films were shot during Hadfield’s most recent visit to our shores and aim to give tourists a taste of what they can experience when they come here.
Today he wrote on his Facebook page:
