Ireland for reals!

This morning we were up and ready to catch the Hilton Hotel shuttle bus back to the Dublin Airport. I was so happy we weren't flying anywhere! I am ready to be on the ground for awhile!
We picked up our rental car at Hertz and ready or not here we go: Bud driving on the left side of the road! We stayed on the freeway for about 50 miles because it was easier driving than 2 lanes rural roads. We could follow the cars ahead of us and you can drive on the right or left or middle! By the time we were on a 2 lane road Bud was ready and was driving on the left like a pro!!! He even did roundabouts very well and that was the worrisome part! Not too worry obviously!

This was taken by me while Bud was driving on the Freeway! Our first picture taken outside of Dublin! Bud saw it first!! We didn't feel comfortable driving off the freeway to look for the pot of gold!

This is a picture of the freeway! These are the two lanes going south.


This is a picture of 4 lane highway! This highway has traffic lights and roundabouts!


This picture is a picture of 2 lane highway! This has traffic lights and narrow lanes.


Going through the town of Kilkenny! Narrow lanes with cars parking on the sides!


Then we get into Cashel, we stay here tonight!




This is our hotel, right of the main street! The Cashel Palace Hotel. Main Bld!


We were in the Mews House next door!


It was great being able to park the car and walk!  More on Cashel next post!

  1. I'm so happy you made it safely to Cashel and that Dad is getting the hang of driving. It looks so strange to see your photo of you driving on the left. And a rainbow? That must be a good luck sign!!!

  2. I was very excited to see a rainbow, pot of gold that the leprechaun's have!!! It seemed fitting to see the rainbow in Ireland!
