The World Wanderers, Episode 5: Ireland

On this episode of the podcast, we’re in Ireland! We start our Irish adventure off in Belfast, in Northern Ireland. Although we didn’t have much time in Belfast, we did have the chance to explore Queen’s University, the Botanical Gardens, City Hall and Donegal Square. For this leg of the journey, we didn’t do our research beforehand, realizing after it was too late that we missed West Belfast, where the murals from Belfast’s brutal political background are located, as well as the Titanic exhibit, and Giants Causeway… #travelfail.  We will discuss how this travel fail has helped us learn how to plan ahead and research where we want to go, and what we want to do in a country/city.

From Belfast, we took a bus down to Dublin, staying at the beautiful Kinlay House Hostel, just outside of the famous Temple Bar area. While in Dublin, we took the hop-on, hop-off sightseeing bus to get the full sightseeing experience in the city. Join us as we recount our Canada Day adventure, touring the Guinness Brewery and enjoying live music in Temple Bar! We also explore the grim Kilmainham Gaol jail, and discover shwarma on this leg of the journey. Finally, we get out of the city to see the jaw dropping Cliffs of Moher – definitely a highlight from our time in Ireland!

After Dublin, we continue south to the beautiful city of Cork by train. Here we will discuss a little bit about Eurorail passes, and our opinions on them. As well, we will discuss what we did in Cork, including our visit to the world’s most unsanitary tourist attraction. Yes – we kissed the Blarney Stone at the Blarney Castle!

Enjoy!
