While in Ireland, my friend Erica and I spent about 5 days in Dublin as well as going on a 5-day roadtrip across to Galway, down to Cork, and back northeast to Dublin.

Dublin

If you're flying to Ireland, you're likely passing through Dublin. Erica and I has such a great time exploring the city.

Galway

Erica and I didn't spend much time in Galway, and unfortunately most of our time, the weather was rainy. We still explored the city but I would love to go back when the weather is better.

The Cliffs of Moher

Truly an incredible sight to see. If you're going to Ireland, you can't skip the Cliffs of Moher. Pictures don't do it justice. And Erica and I were so in awe that we accidentally hiked to the end without water. Oops!

Adare

As Erica and I made our way from the Cliffs of Moher down to Cork, we passed through the city of Adare. This area has buildings with thatched roofs, so we wanted to see this variety in architecture. And we had the most delicious dinner.

Cork

Visiting Cork was a special experience for me. Some of my family's lineage comes from this area, so it was great to where we come from. Erica and I stayed in the city center but explored nearby areas as well.
