Cork- Ireland Trip 9/2019

On 9/5 we left Killarney for Cork. Our first stop was the Blarney Castle and Gardens. It is famous for the stone of eloquence found at the top of the tower, legend has it, if you kiss it, you'll never again be lost for words.
They also have several gardens to walk through, the one I found the most unique was the poison garden which contained plants from all over the world from an opium plant to wolfsbane. After the tour, we left to check into our B&B. We stayed at which was about 3/4 mile away from the downtown area. The shopping in this town felt like any major city in America. We ate at COQBULL which had amazing rotisserie chicken that reminded me of a place back home in California, Manny's. We, unfortunately, did not give this city enough time and would have to come back to this city if I ever came back to Ireland.

Galway - Ireland Trip 9/2019

Image
Galway was the first town of my Ireland vacation that I attended with my girlfriend Anna and her family for their cousins' wedding. Our trip started on August 29th and ended September 7th and we stayed 3.5 days in Galway. We drove straight to Galway (west side of Ireland) from Dublin airport which took us about 2 and a half hours driving. The country is as green as advertised, although I slept through most of the car ride. Driving on the left side of the road as an American is an adventure in itself especially with all of the roundabouts. We stayed at the Hotel Meyrick in the center of Galway, where Anna's cousin Ash, was to be married (have his wedding reception). It is a very historic hotel and central to everything that you would want to walk to while visiting the city. If you stayed during the summer, not having air conditioning could be a bit of an issue but would recommend the hotel otherwise. We arrived at the hotel on Friday around 1 PM and ate breakfast at th...

Killarney- Ireland Trip 9/2019

On our way out of Doolin on 9/3, before our drive to Killarney, we went to Burren National Park which is famous for its moonscape views. We stopped in a cute town on the way to Kilkarney, called Ennis and ate at a really good pub called Brogans that may have been the best pub of the entire trip. After lunch, we finished the drive to Killarney. We arrived at our hotel where we stayed right downtown at Foleys Townhouse which was in the heart of everything in Killarney. After the hike, we went to visit Anna's family as Sush's family rented an Airbnb about a mile away from the town where we had dinner and some drinks at their Airbnb. On 9/4, we left early for a hike up Carrauntoohil which is the highest peak in Ireland and about 12.7 km hike. We hiked the devil's ladder trail and got some wet weather for the occasion. Noah, Sunny, Anna and I were not dressed for the elements of this hike and could have been better prepared. Sunny did the entire hike with run...
