Kerry, Ireland #Day10

We left Cork early this morning and headed across to an island to this lovely place called Cobh. It had an amazing Cathedral looking over the water~

Along the water~

Cobh is also one of the last towns for passengers to board the Titanic~ 

Below is the remaining of a pier used to board the Titanic~

From Cobh we went to a place called Kinsale another beautiful seaside town~

We thought we couldn't leave Irealnd without eating some Potatooooesss!!! (Well fried potatoes ;) 

Then we saw an amazing fort ruin~ 

Then we drove to Tralee where we are staying for the night~

For dinner we tried some Seafood Chowder which was really yum! 

Best part of the day?

Driving into Kerry and seeing the mountain ranges 

What I have learned?

It always rains in Ireland 

Tomorrow we are off to…

Kerry 

Cork, Ireland #Day9

In Wexford we started our day by picking up our next hire car and buying a sat nav to get us round! 

We finally left our comfortable hotel and started driving towards Cork and then I realised that the sat nav only has maps for Ireland and the UK so we had to drive all the way back to return it, to get a European one! No fun 

Trying to find our way~ 

Castle ruin~

We stopped at a place called Waterford on our way to Cork. Waterford is famous for making crystal glass~ 

Snazzy table arrangement~ 

Looking goood~

An Irish Church~ 

Here a bought a cute little 3 leaf clover from the gift shop~ 

Crossing a large toll bridge~

Views along the way~ 

Then we finally arrived in Cork~

To be honest Cork isn't the nicest place, let's just say we wanted to get back to the hostel before dark! The nicest spot was the university just across the road~

Best part of the day?

Seeing the glass crystals 

What I have learned?

Waterford is the oldest city in Ireland! 

Tomorrow we are off to…

Tralee, Ireland! 

Fishguard, Wales #Day8

We left this morning after filling up on a yummy breaky made for us by the friendly house keeper! 

We then headed to Fishguard to return our hire car and catch the ferry over to Rosslare, Ireland. 

Fishguard~ 

We boarded the ferry at 2pm, and left at 2:30pm, arriving in Ireland at 7pm! 

We spent the first half of the journey on the top deck and the remaining time in this cinema type lounge~ 

From Rosslare we made our way to Wexford on a bus to our accomodation for the night. It's right next to a pub so we had to check in at the bar. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by 2 friendly locals! It's true what they say, the Irish are extremely friendly

Was a perfect welcome 

Best part of the day?

Seeing Fishguard foreshore 

What I have learned?

Fishguard was invaded by the French in the 1700's! 

Tomorrow we are off to…

Cork, Ireland! 

Wales #Day7

This morning we drove straight to Tenby. Turned out to be the best decision! Tenby is such a cute coastal town full of pastel coloured buildings, so stunning~ 

Centre~

Lunch~

Gardens at the top of the hill~

Beach caves~

From here we drove to our hotel which was in a tiny village called Spittal. We dropped our bags and made our way to a place called St David's!

On the way we pulled over to have a quick look at this gorgeous sea side town where later on we stopped on the drive home for some dinner~ 

St David's~ 

We finished off our day with this fantastic view of the sunset~ 

Best part of the day?

Catching the sunset from an amazing view point 

What I have learned?

Wales is stunning. Every town is amazing! The locals can't understand us with our accents so we put on a slight English accent and then they understand what we are saying haha

Tomorrow we are off to…

Fishguard, we were catch a ferry over to Ireland!!
