We were pretty bummed that we couldn't see the cliffs yesterday. This morning we woke up and had our breakfast at the castle, which was delicious again. Jess and I knew the protocol today and didn't look so awkward at the five star restaurant setting. When we were finished and all packed up for our drive to the Ritz, and called and found out the cliffs are visible today and the fog has risen. We were so excited!
It was bittersweet leaving the dromoland. It was the nicest place I have ever stayed at- the shower had amazing water pressure, we were given chocolates, robes, slippers, it was luxury! But I am excited to be closer to Dublin and more local establishments. The dromoland had 400+ acres and the closest restaurant and bars was over a mile away. We explored that area last night for dinner, eating at Hackers, a cozy pub with a fireplace and stopping in two other pubs for Irish stouts.
After coming back ton the hotel and planning for Thursday, I got hungry again and convinced the group to go back down to the town for takeout pizza and Chinese, which was luckily still open at midnight!
I may have regretted that sweet and sour chicken this morning!
The cliffs were absolutely stunning. It was chilly and windy but very clear today, and the view was breathtaking!
We stayed for an hour or so then made the four hr drive to Dublin. It was exhausting. So many small, windy roads. Jess even got a little car sick.
We stopped in a tiny town of Gort, I believe. We got some homemade, delicious meals and finished the drive!
See my last post on the Ritz :-)
