Irish Roadtrip!! Pt.2


From Dublin we headed to Cork which was probably the least impressive city we visited. But we managed to find a cool bar, have a laugh with the locals, listen to a couple of U2 covers by a local muso called "Seamus" and have a midnight tuna sandwich feast on the footpath!!

Downtown Cork!!

The next day we headed to Blarney Castle. A 15th century castle with a rock that supposedly when kissed will make you never short of words for the rest of your life.

Nicola and I both gave the rock a snog but we were certain the only thing we may get is a cold sore as millions of others have givin it a shot in the last few centuries!!

From Cork we headed to the Dingle Peninsular. After sorting out accommodation in Dingle. Haha what a name. We took a drive to a place called "Slea Head". A cool point on a rugged headland on the Atlantic ocean. I was stoked to see the ocean and waves again. Even if I couldn't surf!!! Living in Holland where everything is artificial and somewhat sterile it was awesome to see natural curves and cliffs. Something you definitely take for granted living in Australia.

Chilling in some old ruins on the cliff side.

Very inspiring coastline.


Freezing water!! Kinda glad I couldn't surf. Nice to get sand in between my toes again though.

Steamed white wine mussels and a pint of Smithwicks to wash down an awesome afternoon.

A beautiful sunset to top it off!!

Summer in Ireland!!!
