After the 2nd period of the Canucks game, we headed to sleep in Belfast. Waking up a couple hours later to catch the early train north to Coleraine (activating our EuroPasses). From here we caught a bus to the Giant’s Causeway. After spending an hour or so here, we headed back down south to Belfast, switching trains to connect us to Dublin. Arriving in Dublin around 7pm, we checked into our hostel.

The following day we starting by buying a bottle of Jameson, loaded up our small backpacks and made our way to the Old Jameson Distillery. At the end of the tour Sean did the Jameson Whiskey Tasting challenge and got the certificate.

Did you know: A glass of Jameson is consumed every second in Dublin alone.

Right after leaving the distillery, we made our way to the Guinness Factory for the freshest pint of Guinness ever in their Gravity Bar. We headed back to our room after this to meet our roommates (from Reno) for the pub crawl which started at 7:30pm at Temple Bar. Four pubs later… Lil tipsy to say the least.

Waking up the next morning a bit discombobulated, we walked to the train station and headed to Cork. Very nice city! We walking around the city for a bit and went to a local pub for a couple pints of Murphy’s. Following our night in Cork, we headed to the Irish west coast, to a small town called Tralee, where we wandered around on the beach for most of the afternoon.

After a 24 hour train and boat trip combination back to Wales, we are now in Cardiff (after a quick trip south to Bath). Tomorrow we head south to Salisbury, England, where we will be camping for the next 2 days at the Stonehenge Summer Solstice Festival.
