Next stop called for a
bit of family bonding time. After reuniting with my mother in London, we met my
father and grandmother at Heathrow after a couple of days of relaxed
sightseeing and shopping. Together we headed to Dublin, hiring a car to drive
us the rest of the way across the country to our final destination of Gort
County, Galway. We spent a week
doing some sightseeing across the country. We visited Limerick and did a spot of shopping after checking out some of the local architecture. Bunratty was a highlight, firstly for the castle and also for the visit to
Durty Nelly's which would have to be the most Irish pub I've stepped foot into. Galway's markets were heaven for both food and shopping alike, and we battled through the rain to kiss the Blarney stone. On our way back we also visited cousins in Meath and Dublin, with some touristy visits to the
Leprechaun Museum and
Guinness storehouse along the way.

...and if there's anything I learnt in Ireland, it's that it’s never too early to buy the next drink.
