Ireland

May-June 2025

After Northern Ireland, we spend the rest of the month of May and the first three days of June exploring Ireland by car.

Generally, we worked our way counter-clockwise around the island, staying at hotels or AirBnB’s along the way. We ended up back in Dublin, where we returned the car, got another shocking surprise, and spend our last four nights in Dublin before flying home.

Here are some of the photo highlights that that memorable trip.
