My last stop before heading to London was the wonderful country of Ireland. My week in Ireland was a bit different than the rest of my trip, I spent a lot more time seeing the countryside instead of just the city.... And we were kicking it in bed and breakfasts rather than hostels. Thank god. Colin and I spent our first couple of nights in Dublin. During the day we went to a few different historic sites like the James Joyce House, The National Museum of Ireland, and a couple statues here and there. Being tourists and all, we were bound to check out the Temple Bar. It was actually a great atmosphere; we enjoyed some live music and a couple pints of Guinness. Yes, I drank Guinness. For the rest of our trip we rented a car and drove around the Southern coast. Obviously, I was no where near the steering wheel but it was still a bit frightening at times driving on their tiny roads! My eyes were sealed shut a good percentage of the trip, to say the least. The first day on the road we visited Killarney National Park and I even wore some yoga pants and tennis shoes to explore. Ain't ya proud of me mom? The next day we drove around the Dingle Peninsula, which ended up to be my favorite part of the trip. We stopped at some amazing views and even climbed a teeny tiny mountain. The weather was wet and dreary, but it made the experience feel all the bit more Irish that way. Ireland definitely won the award for best scenery and parks throughout my trip. Who knows... I may be back sooner than I think, Dublin isn't too far from London, right?
