Ireland

Our trip began in Dublin where we attended the WSAVA vet conference along with Ben & Corinne and a few other aussie vets. We spent 5 nights in Dublin at the worst hostel we have ever stayed at - cold showers which flooded the entire room and smelly breakfast with off milk, all for 80 euros a night! Dublin was really expensive and we found it really dirty and uninspiring. We also had some terrible Irish Stew. We went to the Guiness storehouse which was just a building with displays about how they make Guiness, a real tourist trap. So overall Dublin was not a highlight for us.

We said goodbye to Ben & Corinne as they headed for Greece and we headed for the south of Ireland with a hire car. Everything was green, beautiful and old but is unfotunately combined with bad weather most of the time! We visited Kilkenny, Cork, Killarney, The Ring of Kerry, the Dingle Peninsuila and all sorts of countryside in between.

This is Blarney house which is near the castle, of course we did kiss the Blarney stone.
