Day 38: Galway, Ireland

Today was awesome! We went on a day tour to Galway, the Cliffs of Moher, and the Macoole Family Farm. We got a guided tour of the farm, which was fantastic. We also got to see the Cliffs of Moher. Words and pictures do not do the cliffs justice! They are beyond amazing. Definitely a trip highlight!

Day 37: Dublin, Ireland

After a leisurely morning we went to the Guinness Storehouse. We thought it was probably like a regular brewery tour (and seeing that Guinness is basically a religion in Ireland, we figured we should see the brewery), but it was way cooler than most tours. It is marketed as a Guinness "experience" which is exactly what it was. Very fun!

Day 36: Dublin, Ireland

Day two in Dublin was yet another fun day. We ended up taking another (nearly identical) free walking tour. We also went to the national museum and saw four bodies from hundreds/thousands of years ago that were preserved in the bogs of Ireland. It was totally bizarre, but surprisingly intriguing!

Day 35: Dublin, Ireland

Today was our first full day in Dublin! We took a free walking tour and then meandered around the city ourselves. We are fortunate that our hostel is very centrally located, so it had been especially easy to get around. More adventures to come!

Day 34: Belfast, Northern Ireland

We left Scotland today and headed to Belfast. We had a great time with Alex's relatives in Motherwell! Although our time in Belfast was short, it was really fun to see some of the sights and explore the city a bit!
