Today was the wedding. I woke up early so I could move my hirecar out of the ticketed area and towards the rock - because you pay 3euro there regardless of the time - so I was going to leave it there for the rest of the time in Cashel. It was around 9.20am by the time I got to the rock - I got a little confused finding the right side street to t...

This is the site of Brian Boru's castle, a magnificent spectacle.

SHE SAID: Headed out to Cashel today to see the city ruins. The drive was about an hour and through beautiful country side. Green pastures with scattered ruins and filled with sheep (cute ones with black heads and legs), cattle, goats, and even a few dogs. Every farm house we passed was perfectly maintained and picture perfect. Turning the bend ...

We woke up to our view of the Cliffs, and started our day with a quick breakfast and another ferry ride. This time we were headed back to Inis Mor and then (later in the day) would take another ferry to Rossaveal. There aren't direct ferries from Doolin to Rossaveal, so this was our only option. We got to Inis Mor around 11 and then spent 2 hou...

This is our day back to Dublin. First stop at Cashel. Cashel is a town that lives under the protection of the Rock of Cashel, a cluster of medieval monuments dominating the landscape. Next to this historical site, there is a nice coffee shop - Granny's Kitchen - with quality soup and bakery. Recommendable.

Hi everybody!! We are just about to leave Cashel which is in the middle of Ireland. We got here two days ago from Roundwood. There is a big limestone rock in the middle of town with a castle and cathedral on it, pretty sweet. Think Edoras for all those LOTR fans out there. Prior to that we were in the Wicklow Mountains and went to the 9th centur...

At last I turned from the coast, and made my way into Cashel, then on to Slane and Drogheda. In Slane, for the first time ever, I didn't call ahead to check the hostel for vacancies. The fact that they were full would have been less frustrating had I not just walked a mile and a quarter in driving rain with my pack on to get there. The proprieto...

This is a trip combining business with pleasure. Sometimes it worked, and sometimes we really hated the "business" part. Arrival at Shannon airport to a beautiful sunny morning! After defrosting the rental car windshield with our hands and trying not to look too touristy by trying to get into the wrong side of the car we are off. First challenge...

Awesome archeological sites - one of the oldest Round Towers, Irish Romanesque-style chapel, replica of St. Patrick's cross with a carved figure of St. Patrick on one side and Jesus on the others, roofless unrestored cathedral
