Woke up a bit "tired" this morning - not sure why???? Anyway after a slow start and another hearty breakfast, it was time to return the car and see the last sites of Dublin City. I was happy to return the car in one piece - after covering over 1700 kilometres over the last 8 days, covering some interesting places and tight street corners as well as country roads, it was a relief to get the car back! We just had to play Galway Girl one last time and it must hav...

It was a big day of touring today. We were up and about early for us……and hit the road to Dingle. The drive to Dingle was about an hour and the outlook was stunning - especially around Dingle Bay. It was well worth the drive there - as rushed as we were - to see the surrounding areas of Dingle. The trip to Dingle from Tralee is basically one way, so you return the same way you come in - unless you head further South and do the Ring of Kerry, however for us...

Listowel - September 14TH Killarney shops awaited us before leaving town, so after another filling breakfast we hit the shops before driving to Tralee. Our timing could not have been better as upon arriving in Tralee and finding our hotel - The Imperial - we found out that the hotel that we were staying in had a bus leaving for the Listowel races in 15 minutes! After a very quick check in to the hotel - which also meant we had to move the car and try and fi...

Had a quick walk around Cork before checking out of our hotel. Made a phone call to Gretta to see if she was going to be home - had tried calling her last night, but she was not home - fortunately, she answered this morning so we arranged to visit her at 12.30. That just gave us enough time to have a walk around Cork and head over to her place. Gretta was very pleased to see us - as we were pleased to see her. I called Dad to let him know we were in Cork and he ...

A quick shoping spree in Galway before hitting the road. We headed off to see the Cliffs of Moher travelling south along the coast. The drive at times was quite scary due to the small winding roads, however, the view made up for the inconvenience! Nothing short of speactacular - it would have to be one of the most rugged coast lines we have seen - it was wild and windy and there were waves crashing up as high as 20 to 30 feet - spraying water everywhere!!! It w...
