Republic of Ireland: Driving and thoughts about Ireland

Driving outside Dublin is easy. Everything is clearly marked. The route, road and the attraction, historical or geographical will be marked clearly and we didn't get lost not even once. Of course at the airport I bought a book of map of the Irish Island (North Ireland included), with some info on places of attraction and the car's GPS somewhat helped.

But from our trip, main attraction was clearly marked and here and there, you must've seen the wave shape among the attraction with a light blue background along the route we took. There's one in the picture below and this one was on scenic route R559 also known as the Slea Head Drive or Slí Cheann Sléibhe which Google translate as Mountain Head Drive. 

Thus, we introduce you to the amazing Wild Atlantic Way!

Republic of Ireland: SPRING 2017 - Places we visit

Spring break 2017 and we went for a short excursion to the Republic of Ireland (or Ireland). It was a self driving trip from Dublin to Killarney, Ring of Kerry and Skellig Ring, Galway and back to Dublin. 

Rock of Cashel

Between Dublin and Killarney, we made a detour to Rock of Cashel in Cashel, County Tipperary. It's a collective ruin of medieval structure consist of a castle, a cathedral, a chapel and the oldest structure which is a Round Tower built sometime in 1100AD. On the lawn outside the northern side were graves and the whole structure which sits on a plateau are enclosed in a wall. From Rock of Cashel, you will get a commanding view of the area around it.
