Our time in Ireland has come to and end. We had a fantastic time and would love to return someday. It was scary to drive on all those narrow roads once you got off the national routes into the small towns, but also stunning. I loved the hedges of fuchsias, ferns, foxgloves etc. I don’t think I’ll be able to live here with all the rain and cold wind most of the year, but it sure is pretty when the sun comes out. The contrasts in blue sky, white clouds and green land with white rock buildings and walls and hedges are a photographers heaven. Rent a small car, don’t stay long in Dublin, spend more time in the countryside, I think we nailed it. I didn’t mention it but the sun sets at 10pm each night- we went to bed at 9:30 in bright sunlight and woke to sunlight at 6:00am each morning. Lucky we were so tired from our exploring and driving that we just fell asleep each night.

We’re taking the ferry from Rosslare to Pembroke in Wales. We are sleeping in this lovely cottage on a block of land with horses on.
Beautiful photos!
