International flights that don’t leave first thing in the morning rock. We had tacos for dinner last night, burritos for lunch, and mediocre but still tacos for dinner.

Premium economy was worth the money but not because of the food.
Dublin
21. juni 2024, Irland ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Dublin reminded me a lot of Portland, with worse food (save for the excellent Indian meal we had) and obviously a ton more tourists. The Guinness connoisseur experience was a lot of fun, however, andLæs mere
Knowth/Newgrange
22. juni 2024, Irland ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
I was really excited about this. Knowth, Newgrange, and a few other spots in this area are burial tombs from the Neolithic era - more than 5000 years old. We weren’t allowed to touch anything, andLæs mere
Cork
23. juni 2024, Irland ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Cork was an unexpected delight. We wandered in, wandered around, and found lots to look at and do. We didn’t get to tour the old gaol or the castle on the river, but still had a great time. The twoLæs mere
Midleton
24. juni 2024, Irland ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Midleton was tiny. We came here for the whiskey tour (Jameson and several other brands are distilled here) but the town itself was a dud. Not a single restaurant had something that both of us couldLæs mere
Blarney Castle
25. juni 2024, Irland ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Blarney Castle and its famous stone is only about 15 minutes outside of Cork, so we stopped by on our way to Limerick. It was a bit of a spectacle with a half hour wait to get to the top, but thereLæs mere
Limerick
25. juni 2024, Irland ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
A quick stop in Limerick to see what it was about since it featured in Angela’s Ashes. What an unexpectedly cute and bustling town! We stopped by King John’s castle, which was very fun, and walkedLæs mere
Galway
26. juni 2024, Irland ⋅ 🌬 19 °C
Galway was kind of a bust. We only came because it was the logical halfway point between Kylemore Abbey and the Cliffs of Moher. The weather ruled out the Cliffs and then the fact that it wasLæs mere
Belfast
28. juni 2024, Nordirland ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Belfast was a delight and has won the “favorite stop of the trip” award. Great food, extensive Titanic museum (it had a mild roller coaster inside even) and lots to do and look at as we wanderedLæs mere
Northern Ireland coast
29. juni 2024, Nordirland ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
In what was our most pricy event of the trip but also the most worth the money, we hired a private driver/guide to take us to some of the more remote attractions along Northern Ireland’s coast. WeLæs mere
Derry
1. juli 2024, Nordirland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
The only real reason Derry was on our mental map was because of the show Derry Girls on Netflix. This honestly could have been a day trip, as we exhausted the usual tourist attractions pretty quickly.Læs mere
