An Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you...

May the wind be always at your back...

May the sun shine warm upon your face...

May the rains fall soft upon your fields...

And until we meet again...

May God hold you in the palm of His hand...

had a well-blessed journey to Ireland on the 03 April 2011 - 06 April 2011

hiring a car going one big round through Ireland... =)

collected the car from Dublin airport and there we went straight away to our first stop, Galway..

my first meal in this traditional irish cottage

smoked salmon.. and it was just costing me about 6 euros.

the fabulous church that we've passed-by occasionally while searching for WC.. hahaha

and then connemara.. which is also part of Galway county.

we didn't expect the sceneries like this.. it was really a huge surprised to us..

our accommodation was actually located right in the center of the national park..

and guess what.. we were really doubted that the GPS has lead us to the wrong way..

on the way on the way on the way, 40 mins before reaching our hostel..

the hidden gems in connemara.. Kylemore Abbey Castle..

what a beautiful view.. unforgettable..

right in front of the castle

and there we are.. finally, settled down at the hostel, and went for a good refreshing cycling trip.. up and down the hillssssss, chasing over the sunset =)

this place, i would say, once in a life time..

beautiful sceneries..

tired! almost k.o! indeed, Ms. Jo's really k.o

haha

traditional irish lamb stew.. it was awesome! i have never tried such tasty lamb meat before..

u can never imagine till you try it on your own >.<

the next day, we left and to the next destination,

Cliffs of Moher, one of the wonders in the world.

this place is freaking windy! u will never understand how windy it was!!!

i was almost blown away. LOL

back in the warmth car.. wrapping up myself

then reaching Dingle at night. Have you guys watch the movie ?

that's the place we've been to..

second fabulous dinner.. with starter, Raw oysters

Seafood Chowder!!! My favourite!!!!!! how much i wish i could taste it once again!!!

and the main dish.

and of course, dessert. irish homemade ice-cream for me ^^

Another cliff in dingle which was being filmed in the

an awarded movie.

dropped by at the beach on the journey to Killarney

a very unique restaurant cafe + souvenirs shop at the beach

Horse's urine.. hahah

it was really smelly, believe me.. you wouldn't enjoy it..

and then the next destination, blarney stone located at blarney castle..

into the damp dungeon, scary +__+

from the castle, can't believe that there was actually one rich family staying there long long time ago..

A romantic myth about the blarney stone.. 一个美丽的传说

poison garden

and then we reach Dublin at night, check-in hostel..

the next day, had enough rest and yup! ready to go!

Dublin museum

the well-known famous St. Patrick Church

and not forgetting, The Guinness Storehouse, Ireland

Souvenirssssssssss

爱尔兰，四个人一辆车还有一台GPS, 不可思议的旅程。。

走遍了天涯海角

我们每到的一个地方都是爱尔兰的尽头，就是转了好大一圈。。

风，好大好大。。风景，好美好美。。。

能够亲眼所见所闻真的是此生无憾了

这一份大自然的感动，相信我们四个人都会深深烙印在心底永远永远

虽然花了不少钱，可是真的很值得很值得

相信以后也很难可以再回到这种地方了。。

dublin, 反而最不好玩呢。。

我好想念，这样子的感觉。。
