We took off on our Irish road trip one wet and windy weekend late in February. It turns out wet and windy pretty much covered all the weather conditions in Ireland - windy rain and rainy wind.
We drove our brave Opel from Dublin to Galway, then down the west cost via a few unplanned backroads to the stunning Killarny, then across to grundgy but charismatic city of Cork and THEN back up to Dublin. About 700km's in four days! And we did it all unscathed and without causing any major road incidents.
Anyway here is the proof:

Argh the Irish! Maybe this kind of thing is a problem here. Could be because of the drink.

I'M HAVING A GREAT TIME!

It's all just so Irish.

Killarney National Park

Can you see the deer in the bushes? He was completely still and didn't take his eyes off us as we walked past.


Another blue door. See, it's not just me who thinks they're interesting!
Cork

As we left Cork for Dublin we came through snow flurries and snow covered fields. It was the first snow we'd seen all winter and at the beginning of Spring!
