The best way to see the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and Galway in one day

November 7, 2017 by Meg 3 Comments

Here is a comprehensive list of what to expect when you visit the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and Galway in one day. I know bus tours go against most avid travel bloggers code of authentic tourist travel, but we don't yet own a car, and so it makes it a bit of a challenge to get to these places. It's easy enough to get from Dublin to Galway on a bus, but getting out in the country and having the flexibility to stop at the various sight-seeing spots is not so feasible when you are using public transport alone. What is most important is choosing the right bus tour to take.A couple of months ago we took the Finn McCools bus tour up to Northern Ireland. We loved the tour so much, we decided to use the same touring company to explore the west coast of Ireland, mainly to see the Cliffs of Moher. The cliffs are on every ‘Must -see’ list when visiting Ireland. Since we have nearly been in ireland for a year, it seemed crazy that we had not yet gone across and ticked that off our list. I know bus tours go against most avid travel bloggers code of authentic tourist travel, but I honestly think that what is most important is choosing the right bus tour to take. We don’t yet own a car, and so it makes it a bit of a challenge to rely on public transport to get to these places. It’s easy enough to get from Dublin to Galway on a bus, but getting out in the country and having the flexibility to stop at the various sight-seeing spots is not so feasible when you are using public transport alone. If we had a car, then for sure I think taking it slow and driving it would be a great way to explore Ireland. But the great thing that tour busses offer is that they give you extra info as they drive you through to the various spots, and you can go and see them all within one day because your time is managed for you.

Here is a comprehensive list of what to expect if you take the Dublin to Cliffs of Moher trip with Finn McCools:

The only way you get to fit so much into one day, is if the bus takes off from Dublin early, at 7am sharp. So it’s an early wake up call. I recommend doing it on a day where you don’t have an early start the following day because it is a long day!

#ProBusTip: If you arrive early you can pick the best seats, plus the Finn McCool team offer free tea and coffee that you can grab before getting on the bus. 

Because you are travelling from the east coast to the west coast of Ireland, the tour does a good job of breaking up the drive by stopping a few times along the way. The first stop is a quick stop to give you a chance to grab some food and use the bathroom. 

#ProBusTip: Bring a picnic lunch from home – will save you cash, plus it’s  hungry work travelling on a bus all day – pack extra snacks!

The next stop is a stop that is not offered by other bus tours, you get 30 minute photo stop at Kilmacduagh Monastery. The 11th century monastery ruins are nestled in the countryside of Ireland, and I loved the windy roads we travelled to get there.

Irish Country Roads, Ireland

It was also an opportunity to see another round tower. There are over 100 round towers dotted all over Ireland. The were built in the 12th century, and it is unclear on their purpose. They were built to be tall and skinny, and some think the reason for them was so that monks could climb in and hide during the viking raids. Others think that perhaps they were used as bell towers. No one really knows for sure, and since we moved to Ireland, I have become strangely fascinated in visiting all of them. There are over 50 that are still standing tall to this day.

Kilmacduagh Monastery, Ireland

So far we have seen 3 of them: one close to home in Clondalkin (interesting exhibition that really tells you a lot more about them plus you can visit the Happy Pear vegan restaurant and store), the other in Glendalough, and now this one here in Kilmacduagh.

Sometimes you can pay good money to take a tour bus all the way to the other side of Ireland to see the iconic Cliffs of Moher, only for the weather to screw up your plans. But if you go with it and enjoy yourself anyways, you could watch the mist clear and your view gets better with time. A symbol for what life is like perhaps? – – – – #discoverireland #ireland #irishlife #luckoftheirish #irishblogger #Eire #irelanddaily #irelandgram #instaireland #visitireland #tourismireland #wanderireland #irishpassion #cliffsofmoher #mohercliffs #westireland #wildatlanticway #westcoastireland #thebestisyettocome #goodthingscometothosewhowait #livinginthemoment #simpleliving #slowtravel #slowtraveller #traveltuesday #tuesdaytravel #traveltips #traveltiptuesday

The next stop was to see the iconic Cliffs of Moher! Unfortunately the day we went it was a bit misty, but the stop was over 1.5 hours, and thankfully the mist lifted and we were able to still catch a glimpse of the cliffs in all their splendor. We walked along the cliffs, and then walked the other way so that we could get a better view of them. There is a small restaurant and an exhibition area at the visitors center. But I think the best thing to do at the Cliffs of Moher is to actually get out there and walk along them and see them with your own eyes. But don’t be too risky – we saw people jumping over the barriers to get the perfect selfie. In wet and windy weather, you are putting your life at unnecessary risk, not to mention there are signs everywhere telling you not to do it!Cliffs of Moher

#ProBusTip: entry to the Cliffs of Moher is included in the price of the bus tour!

After the Cliffs of Moher, you get to travel along the wild atlantic way. This part of the tour is really picturesque and on a clear day you can see the aran islands.

The Burren and the baby Cliffs of Moher

We did a quick photo stop at the Burren, where you can see the Cliffs of Moher is the far distance. The Burren is a part of Ireland that looks nothing like the rest of Ireland. It is a huge area of hard limestone rock that looks like you are walking on the moon. Just be careful walking along the edge, it is a sheer drop!

The Burren

After this stop, we headed to the last stop, Galway City. Galway has been high on our list to get to. Rob stayed there as a student over 10 years ago, so he was keen to show me around this town he called home for a few months. I have to say that an hour is not nearly enough time to see everything Galway has to offer, so we decided to spend the time wisely by heading to a local pub and grabbing a pint. Perhaps we have been here too long – sitting in a pub feels like home. 🙂

Pub crawl in Galway City

We left Galway at 4:30pm, and then made the long trip back home. It was a long way back home, I almost think the trip requires another rest stop. We arrived back in Dublin at 8pm. A bus tour is a great way to get out and see a lot in a short time, but I definitely think it will be worth going back and seeing things a bit more slowly on our own.

7 Halloween inspired places to visit in Dublin

October 26, 2017 by Meg 2 Comments

If you are visiting Dublin in the month of October or over Halloween, here are some Halloween inspired places you can visit. The places are available to visit all year round, but just given that Halloween is coming up, I thought I would mention some places that may or may not be haunted. A few places that are spooky, but are also very interesting too - perfect for a Halloween night out.If you are visiting Dublin in the month of October or over Halloween, here are some Halloween inspired places you can visit. There is a Bram Stoker Festival that kicks off tomorrow and runs for 4 days and nights. Check out the website for a list of the activities that are on. In particular, I know we are keen to check out the Macnas Parade, happening on the 30th November from 6pm. It is free to watch the parade, it starts on Moore Street and weaves through Dublin shopping district.

Did you know that Bram Stoker, an irish author who wrote the gothic novel Dracula, was born in Dublin! Click To Tweet

Then there are halloween inspired places in Dublin that are available to visit all year round,. I thought I would put together a list of the bizarre, haunted and spooky places that make for a perfect Halloween day or night out.

    • Glasnevin Cemetery & the body snatchers watch tower tour. Fun fact about Glasnevin Cemetery: there are over 1.5million are buried in the cemetery, which is a greater number than people alive living in Dublin! If you believe a zombie apocalypse is coming, perhaps avoid living in Dublin! The tour cost EUR13, and it is rated one of the best tourist attractions in Dublin (according to Trip Advisor). I strongly agree with this rating, next to Kilmainham Gaol, this was one of my favourite tours to go on. You are taken around the cemetery with a tour guide, who runs through interesting parts of Irish History, along with the very many interesting people who are buried on the grounds. You also get to visit Daniel O’Connell’s crypt, it is said to be lucky to knock on his coffin – hopefully he doesn’t know back!Fun fact about Glasnevin Cemetery: there are over 1.5million are buried in the cemetery, which is a greater number than people alive living in Dublin!

    • The National Museum of Archaeology (Bonus: it is free to visit; no entry admission fees!) Not only will you be able to see artifacts dating back to 7000BC, there is a current exhibition on showing the recent discovering of bog bodies found in 2003 in county Meath. A bog body is a human cadaver that has been naturally mummified in a peat bog.
    • Fans of the TV series “Penny Dreadful” should visit the Natural History Museum in Dublin. This is the scene where Dr. Alexander Sweet (or Dracula as most of us know him to be) poses as a zoologist to seduce Vanessa Ives. This museum is also free to visit, no entry admission fees. Fans of the TV series "Penny Dreadful" should visit the Natural History Museum in Dublin.

    • Malahide Castle Tour. If you are looking for a tour of a haunted castle while visiting Dublin, then I suggest going to Malahide. Not only is this Castle haunted, but the tour is very interesting, so worth a visit. The gardens are well maintained and beautiful to wonder through too. You can pack a picnic or grab some lunch at the AVOCA that is on the grounds too. Entrance fee is EUR12.50 for adults, book a time slot online to avoid disappointment. Also, if you are keen on running, there is a parkrun on the grounds, every Saturday morning (which is free to run).

When I was little I often dreamed about discovering I was actually royalty and getting to live in a castle! Funny how as you grow up, what you want changes. Now I just like to look at pretty castles, someone else can live in it! This is Malahide Castle, I highly recommend the tour of the castle and gardens. ???? – – – – – – #dublin #dublintown #igersdublin #discoverdublin #dublinlife #discoverireland #ireland #irishlife #luckoftheirish #irishblogger #malahidecastle #malahide #castles #royals #castlegardens #malahide #castletour #thingstodoindublin

  • St. Michan’s Church. This church was founded in 1095, and was the only church north of the river Liffey for over 450 years. You can go on a tour of the crypts below the church for EUR6 (tours are only available on a Saturday morning between 10am – 12:45pm; and may be cancelled at short notice as it is a working church). The mummies in the vaults of St. Michan’s Church are the remains of nuns, monks and rebels who have naturally been preserved  in the crypts due to the dry atmosphere, and limestone in the building foundations. It is quite a macabre tour to go on, but I found it hugely interesting. It is illegal to open up coffins, however these coffins have naturally decayed or collapsed open, thus you are able to view some of the mummies that are inside. The mummies in the vaults of St. Michan's Church in Dublin are the remains of nuns, monks and rebels who have naturally been preserved  in the crypts due to the dry atmosphere, and limestone in the building foundations. The perfect tour for Halloween in Dublin, Ireland
  • Visit Dracula Castle for the Bram Stoker Dracula experience. I am very excited to do this, we have tickets to go this Saturday, so I will update the post thereafter. Dracula’s castle is located a stone’s throw from Bram’s old house at 15 Marino Crescent in Clontarf, Dublin. Tickets are EUR25 for a show and a tour of the castle. I am told it is also a top rated Trip Advisor spot in Dublin. I just hope I don’t jump out of my skin screaming, as much as I love vampire movies – I hate been surprised!
  • Gravediggers bus tour (plus free haunted history walking tour of Dublin). We have not done this, but have had friends who said it is well worth the EUR25. It is a tour done by a “plague infested” tour guide, although I am told it is not too spooky – but very funny, and a tad informative. The walking tour is included for free (usually EUR13 if you book it on its own) and I am told this has a lot more history and information.

Getting out of Dublin: Hiking in Glendalough & Exploring the Wicklow Mountains

October 23, 2017 by Meg 5 Comments

Getting out of Dublin: Hiking in Glendalough & Exploring the Wicklow Mountains.Read this post for tips on how to make the most out of this day out!We recently celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary by taking a bus trip through the Wicklow Mountains to Glendalough. And of course I had to share with you the review of the tour! Some quick facts/tips about the tour and area:

  • Glendalough is pronounced Glendalock
  • The tour costs EUR27 per person, there are lots of tours going out to Glendalough, we went with Wicklow Mountain Tours. Our tour guide/bus driver really made the trip!
  • There are two pick up and drop off spots (City Center and Ballsbridge) – I recommend getting on and and off at city center, this is because we got on at Ballsbridge and by then spaces were limited to two individual seats only so we weren’t able to sit together. If you want to sit together, then get on the bus early. We were lucky that we asked the bus driver and he was able to make a plan for us to sit together. Since you are travelling on the bus for a large part of the trip, it makes sense that you would want to sit next to each other.
  • The Tour starts at 9am and you arrive back in town around 5pm. It is a long day, so bring snacks!
  • You stop for photos at various spots along the way but the bulk of your time is spent at Glendalough exploring the upper and lower lakes, and the monastic cemetery yard.
  • I recommend you pack a lunch (saves you cash too!), even though the tour does stop at a restaurant in Avoca Village. It arrives at the pub quite late in the day, and you get an hour there – enough for a pint (or two) but a bit rushed for a full meal.

This particular tour stopped at various scenes from the popular rom-com PS I love you. So it was full-on romantic cheese for our wedding anniversary (I am still not sure how I managed to rope Rob into doing it). I also managed to get Rob to watch the movie the night before so we would know where we were going. Naturally, I balled my eyes out when we watched the movie – it’s such a sweet film! Rob and Jack eye rolled so hard I wasn’t sure they were going to see properly ever again!

Scene from PS I Love you with Gerard Butler, Wicklow Mountains, Ireland

Even if you are not a fan of the movie (who doesn’t love Gerald Butler, swoon). The trip is definitely a must-do and if you are without a car, taking an organised bus tour is a great way to get out there and explore it just for one day. The Wicklow mountain tour group offers a bunch of tours, we chose the Glendalough and Avoca village tour. In hindsight, I am sure there may be better tours to go for. The reason I say this is that we mainly just wanted to see Guinness Lake and take a walk around the Wicklow mountains. There were one or two stops that in my opinion could have been shortened or removed completely from the agenda as they just weren’t that amazing or necessary for me.

Before you take a bus tour to Glendalough in the Wicklow mountains, read this post! Click To Tweet

Guinness Lake, Lough Tay, Wicklow, Ireland

The best part of this tour and the main reason we did it, was to see Guinness Lake and to take a hiking trail through Glendalough in the Wicklow mountains. The trail is fairly straight forward, barring a steep section for about 10 minutes at the start. But it is well worth the effort, the views and the wilderness were beautiful to look at and you can walk at a slow pace (there is enough time to stop and take lots of pics!). If you are not up for the hike, then you can stay at the visitors center, but I loved that our bus driver offered us the option to take a walk with him. It was a great way to see it and experience in real life instead of being inside the visitors center.

Glendalough, County Wicklow, Ireland

The walk ends by cutting through the monastic cemetery, in the last little while we have found ourselves in quite a few cemeteries (look out for my next post about all the places to visit in Dublin for Halloween!). It was interesting to walk around, but heavily populated by other tourists, which in my opinion, kinda ruins it. I realize I was part of a tour group, but kids running and screaming through a cemetery is hugely disrespectful (not part of our tour group thankfully!)!

Glenfalough Monastic Church and Cemetery, Wicklow, Ireland

The restaurant at the end of the tour in Avoca village is quaint, but definitely not the best Irish pub we have visited. Although the food look good and is well priced, I think the ambiance and atmosphere is lacking. We had a pint and people watched the locals and other tourists in our group.

Avoca Village, Wicklow, Ireland

As I said in the beginning, it is a great tour to take if you don’t have a car, but I think once we do own a car – driving there yourself is probably heaps better because you can skip the random spots and head to the mountains early, take a longer hiking trail (there are several routes) and stay for a slow picnic.

DO OTHER TOURISTS ON TOUR BUSES ANNOY YOU, OR IS IT JUST ME?

10 things I do in Ireland that I never did in South Africa

October 10, 2017 by Meg 9 Comments

There are a few things that I have noticed that we do here in Ireland, that we didn't do back in South Africa. Here are some of the differences we found.I can’t actually believe it’s been 11 months since we left South Africa and moved over here to Ireland with the pug. Some days I miss home terribly, other days it still feels like a dream that we are actually living here. And truthfully, most days, we are still wading through everything and still trying to find our feet.

So much has changed, yet so much has stayed the same. We still work, we still need to pay bills, we still battle to carve out personal time to exercise and keep healthy, and I am still forever wondering what to cook for dinner (I am my mother’s daughter no matter where I am in the world!). There are a few things that I have noticed that we do here in Ireland, that we didn’t do back in South Africa. So I thought I would share some of these differences, but maybe they aren’t really that different as they are just a new norm?

10 things I do now that I live in Ireland as an expat Click To Tweet
  1. I now use all the coins. I have been known to jingle jangle all the way to the store with over 20 euro in change, and buy a week’s worth of groceries. Thank goodness for self-service machines, it means I can slot all those pesky coins into the machine without feeling guilty that the teller has to count it all. We used to have a piggy bank in SA too, but we used to put it into money bags and take it to the bank – Rob always felt too shy to go out and pay for things with coins. Now in Ireland, I feel nothing to go and pay for meals, or groceries with a handful of change. I do feel like 2 euro (largest denomination of coin here) goes a lot further than R5 coin (largest in SA), but maybe that is because we had to learn how to live off one salary.
  2. We weekly shop instead of monthly bulk buy. This might have started more out of necessity, we don’t own a car so we have to rely on what we can carry in back packs and in our arms while walking to and from the store. The largest store close to our home is a 3km loop there and back. I don’t mind so much as it helps get my steps up for my fitbit. The other reason for a weekly shop instead of a monthly bulk buy is that we have less food wastage, We also save money because we eat what we have in the house before walking to the shops to buy more.
  3. We don’t eat Hawaiian pizzas or MacDonald’s that much. Take out food is expensive, so if we are going to have a cheat meal, we often resort to frozen pizzas from Tesco. There are not a lot of pizza topping variations when it comes to frozen pizza, so we tend stick to pepperoni. I really miss a good Hawaiian pizza – pineapple on pizza is the best thing ever! And I suppose it is not a bad thing that we don’t have a MacDonald’s drive thru close by!
  4. We use the postal service (and it actually arrives). This still cracks me up. I get my payslip posted to me each month, I have had my job contract posted to me, our bank cards with a separate envelope for my pin have all been posted to us too. Direct mail is not dead here. In some instances you will find companies are more likely to post something to you than they are to email you, and it is reliable. It usually arrives within a day or two, which still boggles my mind.
  5. I carry a material shopping bag in my handbag. This is really bad because I know my mum does this back home, but in SA, I very rarely brought shopping bags with me to the store. Now I always keep a cloth bag on me because I refuse to pay extra for a plastic bag – plus we really should be thinking of the environment more.
  6. We walk everywhere. We don’t have a car (yet. We are thinking about getting one next year) so we rely on our two feet a lot more. We walk to get groceries. We walk the pug. I walk on average 4km every day just to get to walk and home.
  7. I don’t know how much data I use each month because wi-fi is everywhere. We both have phone contracts with 30 gig data plan, and we have wi-fi at home, not to mention there is wi-fi on the bus to work. I honestly don’t know how we ever lived on a gig of data back in SA.
  8. We don’t own an “american size” fridge. When we were looking for a place to rent, a lot of rental options had the term “american size fridge” – upon further investigation, we realised it was basically a fridge freezer combo – standard in most South African homes too. Since Dublin pet-friendly rentals are hard to come by, we had to forego the big fridge but for two people on a tight budget, the fridge we have suits our needs perfectly.
  9. We use public transport every day. I have gotten pretty good at figuring out Dublin Bus routes, taking the train, riding the luas, topping up with credit through the app (super handy!). Not to mention running to catch the bus and knowing which bus route is the fastest way home.
  10. I now own a coat for every season – all of various thickness and waterproof range. All serve their purpose, trust me I have thought about cutting them down to one (to suit my capsule wardrobe lifestyle). The one thing I am yet to master is figuring out the right coat on before I leave the house and then as they say here in Ireland, “I’ll be grand so”.

It has been the most challenging year we have ever faced, moving overseas is often not as glam as you might expect, but these funny quirky stories are what makes us laugh and learn from these new and different situations. No matter what happens in the future, our lives have certainly changed either way. I think the key to having a successful expat transition is to embrace the changes, try roll with it and go with the change. Not everything you did back home is right (or wrong) – it is just different, and sometimes that change can actually be for the better.

WHAT DO YOU DO DIFFERENTLY IN AS AN EXPAT?
