It's been two weeks since my trip to Ireland and I finally have the time to blog about this amazing place. I'm not going to give you an in depth review of this country as it has to be a place you need to experience yourself.
I went with a tour company called Paddywagon Tours, after being recommended by a friend who also went with the same company. I got 25% off the 6 day trip after signing up at the TNT fair which was a bonus!
The tour covered several cities including Dingle, Cork, Galway, Belfast, Dublin, Derry and lots of sight seeing places. I really wish I can spend more time in each city but I'm sure I will be back in this amazing country in no time.
The highlight of the trip had to be the Black Taxi tour of Belfast. You basically go in a cab and the taxi driver gives you an insight on the great divide between the Catholics and Palestine in Belfast. The can driver said they all had lost someone in the conflict and wanted to give people a view from both sides.
I was able to meet a great bunch of people from different countries whom I hung out with during the 6 day trip. We went to pubs together, clubbing and shared a dorm together. The last point was really important as on the second night of the trip we were stuck with some "gappies" who were having a conversation at 2 in the morning...
I can't wait till my next trip which will be a day tour of Bath and Stonehenge. I'll keep you all posted! Just some pictures of Ireland for you to devour on...
