my trip to dublin and Carlow, Ireland - October 2007 Travel Reviews

Oct 30, 2007
im not very good at these review thingys but i will try
i will start with dublin as thats where we stayed first
beautiful city, everyone we met was lovely lots of shops,pubs and bars. if you visit ireland you must go to dublin and the river liffy
next we went to carlow which is where my mum and aunties were all born so it was a very special trip for me
we stayed in a B+B on green lane, Dublin road called Avlon House i can't say enough nice things about this B and B its a stunning old house, beautiful inside with a lovely old stair case the place was spotless and run by to very nice and helpful men if you are looking for a place to stay in carlow this is the place to stay it is not massive i think there were about ten rooms, very homely.
we visited grafton street,charlotte street (my nan grew up there) and lots of other places
had a great time in both dublin and carlow and would love to visit both places again on a regular basis in the future
i don't know weather its cos im half irish and ive grown hearing about ireland all my life but i really love it there and felt a connection to it as soon as i arrived (cheesy i know! sorry) everyone has to visit ireland,dublin and carlow if you don't you will miss out and im sure you will regret it
i want to book my next trip out there now and hope to enjoy lots more trips to ireland in the future
as i said at the start im never writen a review before so i hope it was as helpful to people as some of the reviews on this site have been for me

a very happy Maire

joelennon says: When you're on the road in Ireland (and indeed Europe in general) it is advisable to use ViaMichelin as your online mapping/route planning solution.
