One of the best bargains you can get is a day pass for the bus. It's really cheap and it allows you to travel anywhere in the city unlimited usage. Secondly, this is a very friendly city. Almost anytime we brought out a map we had a local coming up to offer help. And we just found that whenever we took taxi rides or were in restaurants locals really went the extra distance to make us feel welcome here. And lastly this is a very walk-able city. Most of the attractions are clustered in the downtown area and you can reach most of them by foot. And that's it for our quick trip to Belfast! As you can probably see, our visit was fairly short so we didn't get to do it all. If you have any suggestions of other sights and attractions worth checking out around Belfast, feel free to share those in the comments below.
Good morning everyone. It's bright and early here in Dublin and I'm about to board a train bound for Killarney - a city I've never visited before. Audrey is off on a friends and family road trip so unfortunately you'll have to be putting up with me the whole time. Anyways, let's get going. It's nice, only one transfer today. The journey has been really pleasant so far. It's been really scenic and I should be in Killarney in about an hour. After arriving at Cill Arine station minus my sweater, I dropped off my bags at the hotel and set off on foot to explore the downtown core. I quickly found myself impressed by how passionate the city is about its Gaelic Football with Green and Gold displayed everywhere. With no shortage of restaurants and pubs at my disposal it wasn't long before I sat down for lunch. For lunch I'm going with Fish and Chips and a pint of Guinness. It never gets old. Well, that really hit the spot. Now it is time to go out and check out the town. Well, well, it didn't take me long to escape the bustle of the downtown city core. And so far my first impressions of this place have been really positive. It's a nice change of pace from Dublin where you know it is a really big city and it is really hectic. So over here it is much much smaller and literally it took me 2 minutes to walk out into the woods here and now I'm down a path. Just what I want. It appears I've made it to the entrance of Killarney National Park. But before I go there, there is a cathedral right in front of me that looks absolutely amazing, so I'm going to go check that out first. And then onward to the park. An interesting fact is that Saint Mary's Cathedral served as a shelter and hospital for the sick and dying during the great famine before it was even fully completed in 1855. It appears I have options galore in terms of where to go. Well, Ross Castle it is. And after that gigantic lunch I've got a lot of calories to burn off. Something you really appreciate in Ireland is when you have a gorgeous day like this. When it is sunny outside, when there is hardly a cloud in the sky. Because it does rain a lot here and so any excuse to put away your umbrella and get outside and go for a walk is definitely worth taking advantage of. You know how sometimes in life you hit a fork in the road. Well, apparently sometimes you also hit a flood in the road. So this road is flooded here.
