I made a travel with my wife and a couple of friends to Ireland at the beginning of August, and it lasted one and a half weeks. We flew with a low cost company from Madrid to Dublin, and once there we rented a car with the purpose of driving around the southern half of the island. At first it was nerve wrecking: having to drive on the left side of the road, the absence of verge, the huge green mass of vegetation invading the road every now and then, and the fear of scratching the immaculate car; but after a few hundreds of kilometers we eventually got used to it.
As high points I would mention the beauty of the scenery, with countless tones of green, the ever present historical buildings like medieval castles, churches and cathedrals, extremely well conserved, the permanent absence of litter,the warmth of the people, and the magnificent beer.
After struggling a bit with my memory, the only drawback that I have been able to recall is the extremely limited range of dishes available, which were repeated again and again almost in the same order in every restaurant.
All in all, it has been an unforgettable journey that I wouldn't mind repeating.
