Dom’s Mom and Aunt Celine decided to come to London to visit us for about 3 weeks. Since we had a 4-day weekend over Easter break, we took a couple of extra days off and flew to Ireland. We arrived in Dublin and drove straight to Limerick for the night.
In the morning, we did a quick visit in Limerick to see St. Mary's Cathedral and King John's Castle.
We stopped briefly in Burrany for a glimpse of the castle.
When we arrived at the cliffs Moher, it was super windy and raining, so we took shelter at visitor’s centre and visited the small museum. By the time we mentally prepared ourselves to go out into the cold, the rain had thankfully stopped!! It was still cold, but we managed to climb up the hill without freezing to death and spent a couple of hours taking in the dramatic views of the cliffs.
We then had a 3 hours drive to get to our B&B near Kenmare. We stopped in Adare to stretch our legs and buy a bottle wine for the evening, but it turns out that it’s actually not possible to buy alcohol in Ireland on Good Friday!
As the sun sank, we reached our last stretch through Killarney Park where the speed limit is 100km/h, but the road is super narrow with sharp turns, so our average speed was more like 40km/hour. Dom had fun playing rally-car driver and zigzagging his way through the park, while his mom and aunt got bounced around the back of the car :)
