Eire

So after my whirlwind Europe tour I’d hit a bit of a slump…back and no real idea what do – conversations with fellow travellers I decided to do Ireland…10 day all Ireland tour – booked and everything just over a week before due to start. Add sorting out a job for when I got back – you know the whole wanna travel but need money to do it thing – and the time was more or less filled.

Fly to Ireland with Ryanair…had to pay for luggage! Honestly…may be a cheap airline but they get you on fees and what not! With a 15kg luggage allowance, and 1(!) piece allowed for had luggage – packing was like oi! Yeah yeah, only 10 days…but I am female – I’m slowly getting better with the packing thing…although I still wish everytime I have to do it that I could teleport!

Anyhoo – the day I leave the UK it’s one of those miserable, grey, overcast and rainy ones – get to the airport 2 hours prior to check in – as stipulated…overkill for like a 45min flight, but I guess it is considered international…eventually board and rise above the miserable weather to sunshine and clear skies.

Flying over the Irish sea and seeing the coastline was amazing! This country (and Ireland) really is green – to be expected with all the rain this place gets! – and from an aerial view it really is amazing. Land in Dublin to find the weather still great.
