Connemara

Visiting Ireland

After dancing in Fair City Blues, Lisa and I drove west in Lisa's van to visit Ireland. We mostly stayed close to the Connemara National Park, parking several days by a small beach before spending one night in the mountains perched on a precarious parking spot on the hillside before driving past the Cliffs of Moher and back to Dublin.

We stayed the first night in Wicklow Mountains National Park just South of Dublin

The second night we had stayed close to Mullingar and had breakfast on the banks of Lough Ennel
We arrive to Maum close to Connemara and suddenly there were mountains everywhere
The evening we decided to walk up a small peak

We found a nice spot by a beach that night and after getting un-stuck and sleeping we woke up to a beautiful partially sunny sky and decided to go for a swim. I ran in naked very quickly while Lisa wore a wetsuit and had a proper swim.
It had rained in the night and the mountains were covered in snow

We found a lot of small cute shells on the island

Goodbye mountains!
