Highlights from our visit to Ireland | Random Basics

Exploring Ireland

We had an exciting stay on the Emerald Isle experiencing the beautiful outdoors, “farmly” feel countryside and the lively friendliness of the Irish pub life!

Above is a short video with some highlights of our trip to Ireland.

We spent a few days in Dublin before taking the bus across to Galway. A few days later we set off North for a day to Ashford Castle and then all the way down to the Cliffs of Moher and the beautiful town of Dingle.

We then turned eastward visiting Cork, Killarney and Kilkenny before we headed back for our last days in Dublin. Ireland it was such a pleasurable visit and we are grateful to have had the opportunity, until we meet again.
