We arrived in Killarney to the drizzling rain, sort of has been a common theme throughout this trip :) we had no where booked so we drove around for awhile and Sean found one that he thought would be good -€30 per person per night - it was a older style house with each room named after a flower - we were in the fushia room - there was a family of Americans that were also staying there - we later found out that mum and dad were both in the army they were station...

After a decent breakfast we were back on the road again - at this stage we weren't really sure where we were going to stop for the night, just keep driving and when somewhere took our fancy we would stop. Our first stop was the Ailwee Caves right in the middle of the Burren in County Clare. The tour through the cave took around 30 mins it was pretty incredible - the temp stays exactly all year round whether it's winter or summer which is 10 deg. They have never ...

After having breakfast and getting the car packed for our journey we decided to spend the day and night in Galway. We left Limerick and not that far out of the city it started to rain - surprise oh surprise but unlike Glasgow where you just felt depressed the rain only added to the atmosphere. We passed ruin after ruin marveling at the stone fences realizing that most of the fences would be older than Australia - our country is only a baby after all!! Finally we ...

We hit the roads again as we set back out on the Irish roads with our final destination to be Cork. Our first stop after our Dublin visit was to be Limerick but we had a few things to see on our way there!!! Our first stop was Newgrange, which was approximately a 30 min drive from Diblin. Newgrange is a 5000 year old prehistoric passage tomb. Older than the pyramids, it is quite amazing. Every year for the winter solstice it allows 17 mins of sunlight to travel...

Our second day in Dublin and we decided to sleep in a bit later due to our big night the night before. Unfortunately due to our room being connected to a hotel that has its own nightclub and the windows weren't soundproof it didn't make for a very restful sleep :( luckily the night before wheels had told us of a place that apparently made pretty good coffee - the bald barista - it was owned and run by new zealanders - thank god for the kiwis!! As we staggered out...
