    Christmas in Killarney

    November 17, 2019 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

    We spent the second half of the weekend exploring Killarney and the whole time this song was playing in my head: https://youtu.be/_KgoUNH2f8c

    Very cute town with lots of shops and pubs, we found a great cocktail bar with a huge beer selection and spent most of our first night there! Sunday we explored the town and did a bit of shopping and of course more eating, it was sunny and quite nice out.

    On our way to Cork we got to stop at the first national park in Ireland and walk about a bit! Exploring the Ross castle and lake and Torc waterfall. We even got to see some wildlife! Big swans and a lot of adorable red deer!

    Cork and Kilkenny - tail end

    November 19, 2019 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 3 °C

    Spent a lovely one nighter in Cork, checking out a cool brewery and getting some McD's in the evening before walking home through the University. Today, stopped at Waterford on the way to Kilkenny and did a tour of the Waterford crystal plant there - very cool stuff. The level of detail and craftsmanship is not to be understated.

    We checked into our Kilkenny hotel at a good time and went to find an early dinner - very cute Italian place. On the docket is being lazy tomorrow and checking out the Smithwick's brewery tomorrow. Thursday morning, we head to Dublin for our final night - excited because we have a reservation at the Greenhouse, a 2 Michelin starred restaurant, on Thursday evening!

    Bye Ireland

    November 22, 2019 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

    We wrapped up our last night in Ireland at the Shelburne Marriott hotel and got upgraded to a swanky suite overlooking the St. Stephen's Green. After hanging around the hotel and checking out the spa and bar we headed to dinner!

    We grabbed a tasty pre dinner cocktail at the Peruke & Periwig and then headed to our 2 star Michelin dinner at the greenhouse 🙌

    We went for the 6 course + cheese plate and it did not disappoint. Very high quality snacks and awesome presentation - some were quite creative, one looked like a petri dish. Seriously very unique. Also lots of truffle which was fantastic.

    We relaxed the rest of the night and are now enjoying the lounge waiting for our first flight of 3 home! (DUB > AMS > DTW > MSN)

    Ireland is truly a beautiful place and 2 weeks felt like the perfect amount of time. Feeling relaxed and ready to get home to the pup.
