I saw better…

I decided to not visit the house, I found it too expensive. But the Abbey was for free and it was such a splendid experience:And the park itself:So basically for the entire experience I didn’t pay anything. The parking was also for free. The saying is true: All best things in life are free.

I drove the Gap of Dunloe – it would have been better to walk it. I found it a little challenging, with the narrow street, sometimes I had to drive very close to the stones, there were a lot of tourists walking, horses with carriages (why??), and of course the sheeps. The drive is longer than for example Connor Pass, I had to maintain the 100% focus for about 10 km. But the drive was fascinating, I am so sorry I couldn’t park...

Perfect place for a small break! Here is where I found the pastries with potatoes – delicious!

I was the only person on the beach. Such a great feeling!

Four colors that describe Ireland: green, blue, yellow, violet.

I made a new friend!

Nice town for a break.

The ticket was 4 euro.

From Portmagee there is a bridge to drive to Valentia Island. I had such a great weather!The Lighthouse at the Cromwell point:But the views were unbelievable!The Cliffs (the ticket is 5 euro):Foilhommerum Bay – you cannot bade here, but the beach is wonderful:

A small fishing village

Unfortunately I was at this place 2 hours too early – it was tide and the beach was underwater.

I think I tend to prefer Killarney over Dingle. Still very touristy, but I could still feel the irish touch of the place. And they have a great church.

A lot of people favor this city and many hosts from the Guesthouses I was at, recommended me to go to Dingle. It was anyway on the list.Dingle is a beautiful city, but way too touristy.

On the Connor Pass there was this German guy singing Scottish music … in Ireland. He was doing it for pleasure, not to earn money from visitors and he made the place really magical. Just a very good reason to visit Scotland as soon as possible.I heard so many bad rumors about this road between Castlegregory and Dingle: too narrow, you can really drive very close to the cliffs, you can fall, there are so many sheeps and that the whole...

Limerick is also a colorful city, bigger than Ennis, but more business. I saw some very tall buildings. I personally liked Ennis more.

This small town is so colorful!

My favorite cliffs so far:I could drive on the cliffs for about 3-4 kilometers – the scenery is wonderful. The area is not touristic at all, the landscape is so wild and pure. The only person that was there when I visited the place was a painter who was painting the cliffs on a sunny day. Gorgeous!

The parking here costs 6 euro per person. I personally find Slieve League nicer – but this is just my opinion. To go in the tower it costs 2 euro – I chose not to go up.

Very close to the Dogs bay – I hoped to be possible to walk between the beaches – still I had to drive.
