My Travel Log: Ireland Trip 2

24 July 2010 - Cork

After the Guinness Warehouse visit, we went to Cork. Here we made a mistake of not prebooking a train ticket and had to waste more time and money. By the time we arrive at Cork, it was almost dark. We had the best Indian/Pakistani Buffet there, but quickly found out that Cork is not quite our place, since we don't go party, and it's quite chaotic there, with many people from all around the country to go there just for the pub (not to mention we almost spend the night on the street since most hostels are full). The report is slowing us down too, we had to stay late into the night at the hostel just to write our report.

25 July 2010 - Ring of Kerry

We found out that there is a day tour around Ring of Kerry based in Cork, and we were happy. This is because due to many difficulties, we had made a lot of last minute changes to our plan (canceling places, originally including Ring of Kerry).

Charlie Chaplin visited Ring of Kerry too!!

The view Ring of Kerry is so famous about.

26 July 2010 - Doolin

Late in the morning, we depart for a long journey to Doolin, which serves as a base to visit the Cliffs of Moher and the Aran Islands. The evening is not quite suitable for visiting the cliffs because it was very foggy, the visibility is less than 100m! So we stayed in the hostel for the rest of the day. The host there is friendly and helpful, though not our roommate... At around 8.30pm the host gave us a presentation of the Burrens(which is the whole area where Doolin is situated at). We finally completed our reports that night :D (actually I completed it two nights ago) Missed the Irish pub! Regrettable!!

28 July 2010 - Aran Islands, Cliffs of Moher

We rented a bicycle and off we go to enjoy Insheer, one of the Aran Islands. Straight coming back from the island, we took a 1 hour break at the hostel before staring our 10km ride to Cliffs of Moher.
