We arrived in Belfast and drove to County Donegal for a few days. Driving up the coast was spectacular. We really had a chance to experience Ireland free of a lot of touristy rubbish. The countryside was so beautiful. St. John Point and Slieve League Cliffs are incredible sites. It was such an awesome trip!

Bill and I, together with his brother and sister rented a houseboat and sailed up and down the Shannon river. It was an incredible experience. After a week of saling, we traveled by car. The Cliffs of Mohr was phenomenal. Castles abound the country and had the opportunity to tour several of them. The history and culture was very interesting. The rain did not impede our enjoyment.

Dublin was great and it was well worth doing a tour of all of Ireland. I did a tour with Paddywagon, and although it wasn't perfect, we saw many parts of Ireland, and information, and was the cheapest way to see everything in a short time. I would recommend the trip to anyone, and found that its wasn't so much a holiday, more of an experience, and I learnt so much when I was there. It wouldn't have been the same without the tour. The rain didn't spoil our fun at all. Dublin was bubbly and happening, and multicultural, though I preferred Gallway, which seemed nicer.

I spent 2 weeks in Ireland. I loved it, every minute. Well the rain was a little meh, but I expected it! Dublin was lovely, Cork was gorgeous... It was a great trip, specially after a week in Scotland, and I want to go back!

When you are in Southern Ireland, please make sure you explore around Dublin. It host many great buildings and just look at the way how people live over there you would appreciate the city. It is quite cosmopolitan as you would be able to see many Chinese apart from the Europeans. Don't forget to check out O'Conner Street if you want to go shopping. Also check out Blancestown and Liffy Valley. It is a busy city!
