My Travel Adventures

In the morning, I drove the short distance from my accommodation to Dunguaire Castle, which rises above the sea by the village of Kinvarra. Learning from yesterday’s experience, I left the car by the side of the road rather than in the parking lot (though I am still not sure whether the latter charges a fee). I did not spend much time at the castle though. Since it was still closed, I walked along the road taking pictures before I decided to leave again.

A visit to Brú na Bóinne takes some planning: the website advises visitors to book tickets in advance, and with good reason. When I arrived at nine in the morning, there were signs by the visitor centre saying that tickets for the day had already sold out. Luckily, I had bought mine a whole month in advance.
