This day I realized I was too ambitious with my itinerary around Ireland: the country was too big for just 5 days of road tripping, especially since I really want to see as much as I can. For the next days I had booked a hostel room in Glengarriff, close to the Ring of Kerry, which was a road trip I also wanted to experience.
But Glengarriff is way south in Ireland, so this meant a lot of driving. I also wanted to see the Cliffs of Moher on the way, so it would take even longer to get to the destination.
So this day was more driving in the beautiful Irish countryside, with so much green, and a bit of gloomy grey (which I prefer anyway rather than blue skies). I drove south past Galway, and followed the coast towards the Cliffs of Moher. When I got there it was foggy and cloudy, but it got clearer so I could enjoy the sights. After that, it was more driving, past Limerick (sadly no time to stop and look around…) towards Killarney. Why Killarney instead of Glengarriff? It’s a story I’d rather tell you in person 😊.
I didn’t make it to Glengarriff that night, and got a shared hostel room in Killarney instead. As it turns out, this was a poor choice.
