Ulrika and I have been talking about travelling for ages and finally in January of this year we decided we would try and book something for September 06!

Before Dingle we were in Killarney. It was a pretty nice town too, but the best part of about Killarney was the National park. We rode around the national park and it was really breathtaking.
