Before jetting off to France we are going to Cork, Ireland to visit Paul's family. I have done a 5-day road trip Dublin --> Cork --> Killarney --> Dingle --> Ring of Kerry --> Cliffs of Moher --> Limerick --> Dublin with friends last year. It was exhausting, as we drove about 8 hours each day. I would recommend either going for a longer period of time or flying into Shannon or Cork. Cliffs of Moher are breathtaking, so I would say it is absolutely worth the trip, but do plan well! If you want to see the prettiest sights - see the western part of the country. Fly into Shannon or Cork, and drive around the Dingle Peninsula and the Ring of Kerry and up to the Cliffs.
So during my stay this time, I will be enjoying the company of Paul's family and friends as well as seeing some of the sights with the local! On the itinerary:
Kinsale (where the Spanish Armada sank in 1588, famous for its wonderful seafood and a yacht club)
Killarney (Muckross house and the Torc waterfall)
Sneem (and the trail with the fairy houses near the Parknasilla Hotel and grounds!!!)
Waterville (where Charlie Chaplin used to holiday)
Blarney Castle - to gain the gift of eloquence :)
Mum's Lasagna (I hope!) and Sadhbh's (pronounced "sigh-v") 2nd Birthday Party :)
I am really really excited! Updates with pictures to follow!
