ENTIRE itinerary 👇🏽 🇮🇪
& what I would do differently, full expense breakdown coming soon! 

- Day 1: Dublin (✨ highlights: kilmainham gaol, trinity college, st stephens green, pub hopping, we loved Mulligans!) 
- DAY 2-3: picked up a rental car and went to Sligo/strandhill beach (✨highlights: benbulben, knocknarea, gleniff horseshoe, keshcorran caves, castle cassiebawn, mullaghmore head, fairy bridge)
- ‼️ I would have stayed up at Donegal for a day to explore that area! 

- DAY 4-6: Westport & Galway: (✨ highlights: cliffs of moher, connemara national park, diamond hill, errisbeg, gurteen beach, pine island viewpoint, kylemore abbey, silverstrand beach)
- ‼️ if we had better weather I would have hiked up croagh patrick 😭

- DAY 7-9: ring of kerry! I am glad I did this over several days because there is SO much to do/see here. We stayed in the cutest airbnb foighnebnb with the best views, kind hosts and amazing breakfast (peep our irish breakfast!) Killarney was nice to visit for a few hours but it was packed with tourists and buses so it was nice to be away from the riff raff. (✨ highlights: kenmore, skellig ring, kerry cliffs, muckross abbey, castle cove beach, live music at sneem, ladies view, molls gap, derrynane beach, coomakista) 

- Day 10: Cork: (✨ highlights: titanic experience in cobh, middleton distillery, blarney castle was super touristy but the grounds were SO beautiful it was worth it) 

- Day 11: return car and wander around Dublin until ✈️

‼️ If I could go back in time, I would skip the last day in Dublin and drive from cork to the airport/drop off car. I would have taken a few extra days to go to the Dingle pennisula which we completely missed. If you want see puffins visit the Skellig islands, you have to book your ferry in advance. Everything was sold out by the time I looked 😭
