Nono giorno. Lasciamo Clifden a malincuore, e seguiamo le indicazioni per Cong, posto consigliatoci da quella coppia italiana che abbiamo incontrato per la seconda volta e di cui vi avevo parlato qui e qui. Prima di arrivare a Cong ci fermiamo lungo i tanti laghi che incontriamo sulla strada. A Cong non c’è molto da […] Leggi tutto…

Ottavo giorno. Lasciamo con immenso dispiacere questo angolo di pace a picco sull’Oceano Atlantico. Un posto dove nessun rumore potrà mai disturbarti, dove solo il vento e solo il mare sentiranno i tuoi pensieri. Un posto dove ho lasciato un pezzo di cuore, che spero rimarrà ben saldo a quelle meravigliose scogliere e tra quelle […] Leggi tutto…

The view, the landscape, the emotions you feel up there, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, with the wind that twists the hair and makes you walk crooked and feel almost shines… all this is undescribable. I think I’ve never been in front of so high cliffs, that breathtake only watching them. There is many people and […] Leggi tutto…

Seventh day. First stop of the day: Adare, County Limerick. Characterized by the many thatched cottages, it’s considered as assets of the government. We go near the castle, then we buy something at the Heritage Centre, where you can find the inevitable sheep and all sorts of Irish souvenirs, more or less kitsch. Not only […] Leggi tutto…

The Dingle Peninsula is the third of three peninsulas that you’ll find going from south to north on the west coast of the country. Personally I think that the best is the one of Kerry, then the one of Dingle; about the one of Beara, which we glimpsed in passing, I can say that it […] Leggi tutto…

The morning has passed while we were crossing the Ring of Kerry stopping at each corner or free plot to admire the scenery breathtaking and to take some pictures. Then we insert the next stage in the navigator: Killarney.  We park next to the church, we go in, then buy lunch at the nearby supermarket […] Leggi tutto…

Sixth day, in the morning. After a hearty Irish breakfast we pay (30 euro each) and leave Kenmare in the direction of the famous and highly praised by all the guidebooks Ring of Kerry. It’s a way (the N70) which runs along the west coast of the Kerry peninsula, where the hills meet the sea […] Leggi tutto…

Fifth day. We don’t wake up too early because the bed and breakfast is just 2 minutes drive from Blarney Castle, our first visit of the day. Bridget, the landlady, has prepared a hearty breakfast in the dining room and while I’m eating I watch the pictures of the children, that are everywhere: graduation, weddings, […] Leggi tutto…

Fourth day, 16°C (with peaks of 20°C during the day): overcast, then sunny, breezy. While we’re having breakfast we meet the family from Novara: they have traveled around the island clockwise, so they’re on the way back. We say goodbye, we pay and we thank Mrs. Mary; we got into the car and we head […] Leggi tutto…

Third day of travel. Let the Morgan Hotel, we call a taxi and arrive at Hertz, where at the parking lot number 13 (already a good sign!) a black Opel Corsa 3-door and, of course, with the driver’s seat to the right expected us! Terzo giorno di viaggio. Lasciamo il Morgan Hotel, chiamiamo un taxi […] Leggi tutto…
