We are in heaven! Kilkea Castle is a must do, must stay for any visit to Ireland.
Finally Princess Fiona makes sense, and I think I was born for this next level experience (Bas is rolling his eyes).Read more

We bailed on our lighthouse excursion due to high winds and instead walked the township of Kilkenny. Since it’s Sunday, it made sense to visit every church and cemetery - they were quite stunningRead more

We left Cork early! ☘️🎶🧚🌈
Note the video trying to squeeze out of the parking lot without dinging the car (a lot of swearing).
Heading to Kilkenny next.
So…. Kilkenny is like aRead more

We are not really city people but here we are in Ireland’s second largest city with a spare day and…. it’s gray, windy and raining. How do we fill in this god-awful weather day? ☔️
So farRead more

It’s always good to shake up the accommodation and last night we did exactly that. We stayed in an Irish pub high on a hill above an ocean bay next to a cemetery and stone church ruin. A late nightRead more
Fiona and Bas,All improv. The play for hours and some of them seem like they are quite bored - but the audience loves it.

Today we had perfect blue cloud skies. The Ross Castle tour was excellent, and the tour guide gave an insight into tourism in the 1900’s and the reconstruction of the castle in the 1990’s.
WeRead more

Today we pretended it wasn’t raining. Bas was horrified when I said YES to a toothless horseman with a shagged out horse who offered to take us on a 45 minute trip in an open buggy in the pouringRead more
TravelerI love the carriage ride though the country side. I’ve only noticed that type of horse and carriage in city tourist districts. Looks like a great way to see the landscape without every thing being a blur because the car/bus/train is going to fast. Plus, cover much more ground and not as exhausting as walking or biking. Great choice!

Driving from Dublin for 3 hrs is no different to driving anywhere in the world, and Limerick, our lunch stop, was quite unremarkable.
Then… we arrived in Killarney and we hit gold. We found theRead more

Nice flight of whiskey. Great pic getting both the flight and the description card. So . . . What is the result of the tasting?
Fiona and Bas,A blur. We deliberated a long time but it’s only a memory now, masked by a whiskey hangover.

Today we started with a walk to EPIC, the Irish history of emigration museum that highlighted the idea of connectivity and that our Irish ancestry stays with us always. We were surprised to learn thatRead more

We were up at 5am on a flying volcano (the plane was called Katlin) to Dublin Ireland.
On first appearances Dublin seemed rather ordinary, till we discovered its heart-beat. Dublin is about bars,Read more
