Our little VW was
perfect, but Lianne couldn’t get it going…
(rare because she’s
the best driver)
Come to find out,
she was trying to start in 3rd!
But, because of
this Ian had his first UK driving experience
on the “wrong”
side of the road, in a fairly big city, at night and in the rain...
and we must say,
he was a damn good driver!
Our night out in
Dublin was pretty uneventful.
We walked,
wandered and drank good beer.
The next morning,
we were off to Northern Ireland – Bushmills to be exact.
The drive was
effortless and that’s when Lianne realized she was starting in 3rd!
Across the border
we go – Southern Ireland to Northern…
KPH / MPH and
Euros / Pounds
(strange)
Northern Ireland
was stunning – beyond stunning.
We were blown away
by how green everything was and how blue the water was.
I think we all
said on SO many occasions – “we are so happy we came here!”
It was beyond anything
we could have imagined.
In two days, we
accomplished a lot –
Trade Tour at
Bushmills Distillery which was out of this world.
Full tour of the
distillery, plus a ridiculous tasting of about 10 whiskeys!
Giant’s Causeway was
our first taste of Northern Ireland’s beauty.
Carrick-a-Rede
Rope Bridge just threw us over the edge!
We had beautiful
weather and we know we were insanely lucky.
Because of the
sunshine, it made the grass greener and the water bluer,
but even without
the weather the people were kind and the food was amazing.
If you’re ever
thinking about going – GO!
We also found a
super fun bar/club/lounge in the middle of a small seaside town.
Ended up being a
boozy night filled with TONS of laughs.
A night I will
surely not forget and I can guarantee the others won’t either.
As our trip came
to an end, we headed back to Dublin
and had to say
goodbye to Ross and Lianne
(and the sheep and cows living ALL OVER Northern Ireland...)
(and the sheep and cows living ALL OVER Northern Ireland...)
And no goodbyes
from me (sarah) are without tears.
We miss our family
and friends dearly and are so very thankful for their visits.
