We said goodbye to Tito Joan at the airport and returned to the Malahide estuary. Between free showers, fairytale castles and borrowed paddleboards, we closed the day calmly and with a little nostalgia.
☘️ Ireland with Uncle Joan
From a quiet area to the heart of Dublin: we refueled, ate, the humans fulfilled the dream of seeing Riverdance and ended up strolling through Temple Bar, before stopping next to the estuary in Malahide.
We explore Donegal among castles, abbeys and bustling squares, have a drink in a bar with a patio, sniff out historical mysteries and end up in a corner by the water, peaceful and perfect.
Between ancient castles, mysterious staircases, and endless landscapes, we spend the day with our snouts in the wind and restless paws until we reach a coastal corner that resembles a dog spa.
Between temples, city walls and a bridge that connects more than shores, we crossed from Northern Ireland to Ireland without even noticing. A day to reflect… and to sniff around.
From quiet caves to the Giant’s Causeway, via an overpriced bridge and some Chinese ladies shouting “E-AR-SAT” while I posed like a model. A perfect day for a canine explorer.
Waterfalls, ice cream, and a brave swim in Ballycastle before we venture into a hidden nook between field and forest, only for those who dare to take on a 4x4.
We didn't get to do the cliff path today, but we found a trail to the Blackhead lighthouse, some colorful houses that almost made me go cross-eyed, and a new spot by the sea to sleep.
Un ranger simpático, un pez de cerámica gigante, el Titanic a tamaño real y murales que hablan del pasado y del presente. Belfast se muestra sin filtros… y nos deja con mucho que contar.
In the early hours of the morning, the wind nearly blew the camper van away. Between ruins, traffic jams, and bagpipes, we ended the day sheltering in a forest near Belfast, this time with calm... I think.
Farewell hugs at the airport, mechanical scares on the road, and a final stop by the sea in Carlingford, with wind, good views, and the camper holding up... for now.
