My last day in Ireland was a good one! On the recommendation of a friend and several tour guides I did the Kilmainham Gaol (jail) tour. I have always found jail tours fascinating, but this one was especially poignant. I have spent quite a bit of time learning more and more about Irish history and…

What a beautiful view to wake up to! Today’s agenda consists of getting a tattoo to commemorate my trip and then having afternoon tea at the castle. I knew I wanted to get a tattoo on this trip, and I knew where I wanted it (on my wrist), but I wasn’t sure exactly what I…

Heading back to Dublin today and decided to make a few stops on the way. The first stop was in Longford for breakfast. I went to a café called Moments, unfortunately they didn’t have any scones so I ordered pancakes and bacon (not the bacon or fluffy pancakes I was expecting, but it was still…

I mapped out some places I wanted to visit that weren’t too far from my AirBnB last night, so I set off on another adventure this morning! My first stop was, of course, another ruin. This time it was the Creevlea Friary in Dromahair. This was another beautiful place to visit and was actually the…

I hung out on the Red Bus for a little bit this morning before heading up to Sligo for my final AirBnB stay of the trip! I had some time to kill so I decided to go on a little hike to a waterfall called the Devil’s Chimney. The hike was a pretty intense one…

Today I moved to a glorious AirBnB called the Red Bus at Ox Mountain. The AirBnB is a converted double decker bus. It was a very unique experience, and unfortunately there was no Wi-Fi so this contributed to me getting behind on the blog! This was a very nice break on the trip though, a…

I felt like I got a pretty good feel for Galway over the last day and a half, so I decided to explore some areas nearby. My host at the AirBnB had provided some recommendations for things to do in the area and one of them was the Kylemore Abbey which I had actually thought…

I had a walking tour scheduled for this morning, I found this is a great way to get to know a new city while also getting in a good workout. I had a little bit of a problem finding parking, so I was a few minutes late, but thankfully my tour guide was very understanding…

Hello again, I got a little behind on posting! Today I traveled from Limerick to Galway to my next AirBnB. I didn’t have a lot planned for Limerick, but some googling told me the top thing to do was to go to King John’s Castle, so I went. It was pretty neat, I even climbed…

Slept in a little bit today and then packed up all of my stuff. I lucked into a parking spot directly outside the door of my AirBnB last night, so packing up today was a breeze! I had originally planned to spend all day yesterday in Dingle, but since I had the blow out and…
