Ireland part 2

After our busy day of travel, we finally checked into our cute little hotel. Very friendly staff and very helpful. The next morning we were up early to catch a train to cork. We used Viator to book our three days trip. I highly recommend using this site for all of your travel tours. 


Saw lots of the most beautiful country side. When out of the city there is lot of green. Can differently see why it's called the Emerald Isle. One of the stops along the way was the Cliffs of Moher. Amazing work by Mother Earth. These cliffs are 700 ft above the Atlantic Ocean.  



 I love this picture of my feet hanging off the cliff, was
 kinda a rush. Wind was lightly blowing + salty smell in the air + watching the waves hit the rocks below = Peacefulness



We stopped in Cobh was once known as Cove also known as Queenstown. Why is this important you might be wondering. This was the last port of call for the Titanic before she left on her maiden voyage. In the movie Titanic it was referred as Queenstown. She also had to anchor out, the ship was to large to moor up to the pier. The Titanic was also built in Belfast, Ireland. That well be my first stop when I go back. 



This is commemorating her first and final voyage.
This is the harbor that the Titanic had anchored in.



We stayed 2 nights in Killarmey. Cute little town. There was a castle that we had walked too.  Pretty sure that the B an B that we stayed at was haunted. When you hear someone trying to use a key to get in their room and you open your door to help and see nobody. Or hear any foot steps this place was really old, a mouse could walk on floor and would creek. Also talking to the other ladies that where staying there were on the first floor, our room was on the second. They heard nothing. And Krista said she felt like someone was in the room walking around. You just put that out of your mind till after you have check out and talk about it later in a different country. 


This little place still used Skeleton keys for the bedrooms
I will say that the hostess was really sweet and made an amazing breakfast. Pretty sure that home was pre WWII. 


One of the days was a full day bus ride of the Ring of Kerry. Beautiful countryside. So green and lush. 


Till next time, sit back and enjoy the view.

Europe here I come

EUROPE HERE I COME!!!  I'm super excited for this trip and even more excited that i will be going with one of my BESTIES.  (Everyone needs to have amazing BESTIES like I do) Krista's brother is in the Air Force and just moved to Germany. The perfect opportunity to see him and see the that part of the world. Krista and I have talked about going there for a trip. The places that we would want to see and do.  Sooooo, randomly one day Krista text me  "Guess who's going to Germany with me". I replied "Pam (her wife)" Krista "Nope" Me "Your mom"  Krista "Nope" To my surprise Pam has to work, her mom is going next year and its ME. I am the lucky one. Since I found out that I was invited I started what any sane person would do. Start making a list of things to do while we are there. We are both making a list of we feel we must see. I started doing research on flights, passport renewing, transportation while we are ther...
