120km/h on the motorways - not much more to give!
Our first trip around Ireland was like travelling back in time. The roads - so narrow. The radio stations - so old. The lack of music on a Sunday morning as church is broadcast across the airways. We felt like hippies travelling through the 60s.

Thoroughly enjoyed the countryside - except for the bloody hedges. You couldn't see anything over the top of them and every country road had them everywhere!

Watched Ireland play rugby in the pub and stayed in Wexford which unfortunately was pretty dead. I think the photos describe what we did best - so have a look at them!

Enjoy!

Down the south-east tip of Ireland at Hook Head. Great views. 2 degrees celsius and blokes were suiting up to scuba dive - dickheads.

Very original name, considering it's on a rock and is in Cashel. Pretty cool, especially from this view.

Very cool place with a very cool story about life. Never been philosophical like this before, but it was pretty good.

Apparently this is one of Ireland's Top 20 Tourist Attractions. We can see why...impressive.
