We planned for a year, then traveled for a month (mid April to mid May 2023) to Ireland, Scotland and Norway. Beauty, history, culture, food - not a vacation, but a life experience.
Arriving in Ireland to a rainy Dublin, we stayed at the Westbury Hotel.
On to Kinsale for a food tour of yummy delights.
Muckross House and Gardens on the Ring of Kerry.
Galladrus Oratory on the Dingle Peninsula (dating to the 10th century).
Also on the Dingle Peninsula, Kilmalkedar Church with amazingly preserved architecture (12 century).
Talented Sheepdogs!
So cuddly.
Beautiful Kylemore Abby in County Connemara
Our last night in Ireland, we stayed at Dromoland Castle. It was definitely a “WoW”!
