I clearly remember the one day we went to the coast of Howth when I was looking down the cliffs, watching the waves collide with the huge walls of stone. I breathed in the salty sea air, the wind blew through my hair, no annoying crowds of tourists, no noise but the waves and the seagulls, just nature and me. I'm longing for a moment like this.
I know that ten days are a short period of time, but I don't want to stay at one place. Why staying in one city or town when so many others are waiting for you, maybe even more beautiful than the last one? I only want to avoid popular tourist spots and rather stay off the beaten track, getting in touch with the locals and so on. My plan is to fly to Dublin, spend some time there to revive old memories and afterwards rent a car and drive through Ireland. Without a certain destination, just a list full of bulletpoints with nice places to see. Of course I'm not in a hurry, I will stay as long at a place as I want to, you never know what can happen. I'm a very spontaneaous human being, even the idea of having a final and unchangeable plan makes me shiver. Maybe there is time for two cities, maybe for ten. The nights I will spend in hostels because I can't afford sleeping every night in an expensive hotel. I'm also thinking of taking a friend with me, this would be much more fun than travelling alone.
I already started writing the list:
- Cliffs of Moher
- Glendalough
- Howth
- The Giant's Causeway
- Aran Islands
- Glenveagh National Park
- Connemara National Park
- the Burren
- Cooley Peninsula
- Belfast
- Galway
- Cork
