Ireland

We joined a group of friends for a 11 day tour of Ireland in August 2008. We arrived in Dublin, toured the city and area south of Dublin. Then we headed north to Newcastle on Dundrum Bay on the east coast. From there we toured through Belfast and drove along the beautiful Antrim Coast to Londonderry (Derry). After a city tour we drove through the rugged Inishowen Peninsula to Malin Head in Norther Ireland. We then headed southwest through the countryside to Enniskillen. We then made our way South to Galway, located on beautiful Galway Bay on the west coast. We continued south along the western coast to Killarney. From Killarney, we made a day long tour of the Ring of Kerry which follows the rugged coastline of the Iveragh Peninsula. We then turned east to Cork and the southern port city of Cobh. Turning back north, we toured Blarney Castle and spent our final night at Bunratty Castle. We left from nearby Shannon Airport for the USA.
