Cork- Ireland Trip 9/2019

Image
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.

Doolin - Ireland Trip 9/2019

We arrived in Doolin around 1 PM and knowing our B&B would not be ready we just dropped off our bags and started walking to the starting from the B&B to the Cliffs of Moher hike entrance. The B&B had some amazing views and had very clean and tidy views and would recommend this location for anyone going to the area looking to hike the Cliffs of Moher. We were almost talked into pulling a total tourist move and driving to the visitor center of the Cliffs vs doing the entire 3.5 mile hike and I am very happy we opted for the hike as it was not too challenging and the views were worth every step. The hike is unique in that you walk through private farmland and get some amazing scenery of cows, sheep, goats, and horses along the way. The views say everything you need to see. We were fortunate on the day we hiked as their was virtually no fog the entire day and have heard that your views can be ruined when a heavy fog sets. Anna made sure to leave a he...

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...
