Ireland Trip: 12 – Hiking the Malverns

Planned to hike the Malverns through-hike south to north and almost did the entire section (you can skip the final segment to reach the pub a bit faster). And even the taxi return to the tiny car park on the side of a backroad worked out just fine – we seem not to be only ones doing it this way.

Ireland Trip: 11 – The Cotswolds

Visiting Tewkesbury and the Cotswolds, with some famous tourist towns.

Ireland Trip: 10 – Welsh beaches

After the on-time arrival of the ferry in the UK, we found a nice although not too quiet place along the beach despite this being a slow Monday in mid-May.

Ireland Trip: 9 – Starting the journey back home

After a truly wonderful wedding celebration, the next day was departure day for the various guest groups to their various destinations and with their different transportation modes. Once more, we loaded the bus and ventured on to finish the Ring of Kerry and then across some small mountain passes straight towards Dublin, where we spent a short night to catch the early morning fast catamaran ferry, the Dublin Swift, again.

Ireland Trip: 7 – Traveling across the Burren

Traveling across the Burren to some of the most famous sights in Western Ireland on our way to the final destination of Waterville, Kerry.

Ireland Trip: 6 – Heading into Ireland

This time above water, we made the crossing into Ireland. Doggie went to Brewdog pub and we had a lovely stroll along the lake at Lough Rea in the evening.

Ireland Trip: 5 – Snowdonia National Park

A big figure-eight loop through the various valleys and across the many passes in Snowdonia. Select pictures from three different cameras and photography methods…

Ireland Trip: 4 – Wales lakes and bridges

A tourist tour through the Welsh mountain near Snowdonia National Park. Ah, and let’s not forget the 2nd trip to Llandudno for a 2nd visit to the Vet for another tapeworm treatment (required for Ireland), and the world’s best (maybe) Fish & Chips.

Ireland Trip: 3b – Llandudno

Encountering some interesting Welsh names and scenery on the way. And the Van is obviously playing out its advantages, fridge and camping table and chairs and all, to pull off the road and enjoy the sunset.
