We got to Dublin about 5:30pm – just in time for peak hour traffic leaving the city! They have there what they call the M5 carpark. We found out why – it can take up to 2 hours to get out of Dublin in peak hour.
We decided to head south and leave Dublin until the end of our stay in Ireland, so we ended up at Kilkenny the first night.
One thing we noticed when we hit Ireland – nearly every second doorway in nearly every town, will lead you into a pub! There are so many pubs, if you were doing a pub crawl it would last all night and you would still only be half a km from home!
The next morning we headed south west going through Waterford (where the crystal factory is) and towards Cork. However, the traffic and roadworks were so bad we decided to go around Cork and headed straight for Dingle.
Dingle
Dingle is a magic seaside village. I read about it last year some time and decided when we got to Ireland we were coming here, and I’m glad we did. We are staying for 2 nights at Murphy’s B&B right on the waterfront – it’s also a pub with great food.
Today we drove out to the western most point and the scenery is stunning. Here’s the photo’s to prove it.
