Ireland

www.discoverireland.com is the Irish Tourism website..worth a look..it depends on how long you'd be planning on being here and how you'd be getting around..Public transport would work for getting from city to city,but to explore,you'd really need a car..There's a lot of stuff to see,depending on your interests..there's 32 counties,(26 south,6 north)and most of them have some claim to fame,having a major town or city,or something of geographical interest,be it a mountain,beach,or river..I've posted some photos in previous discusions of the area where I live (county Fermanagh!)There's the Belleek Pottery Factory here(Delicate ornamental China,exported worldwide),Lough Erne,one of Europe's largest inland freshwater lakes,good for fishing,boating,and Scenery..Historical sites,monastic Islands,A limestone cave system you can take a tour of,partly by boat on an underground river www.marblearchcaves.net Just remember when coming here,there's 2 Countries and 2 currencies on this little Island..So wherever you fly into,you'll need to change money again going over the border..unless you just plan on using plastic..The Irish Republic uses the Euro Currency,Northern Ireland uses the British Pound..there IS an exchange rate,(not so big at time of writing..some places allow pound for Euro parity) and the further away from the border you get,the less likely the other currency is to be accepted! I'm no expert on tourism,but I work in the Industry and like sharing it with others!

I lived and worked in Ireland for a short time a few years ago. You definately have to see the Cliff of Moore. You can take a day bus trip from Galway or you can stay in a little irish town called Doolin and go from there. You have to go to Blarney castle and kiss the Barney stone, since it is the irish tourist thing to do. Killarny is nice too. I liked Clifden too. Cork is a nice larger city in the south of Ireland. You definately have to visit Dublin. It is busy, but it is a must. You can see the Book of Kells in Dublin too. It is beautiful there! I hope you have fun!

Ireland is known as the Emerald Island because it is really green. Northern Island has the amazing looking Giant's Causeway that is very picturesque indeed. The Republic of Ireland has the stunning city of Dublin. I so enjoyed visiting it and found ti really friendly. I would love to go to Cork because one of my friends lives there. I have seen her photos and think Ireland is beautiful. I would fly there and travel around Ireland by train. If you go there with your friend I hope that you will have a lovely time.

Ireland is so beautiful. I went there when I was 12. I dont remember every place I went but Dublin is a nice place to go. And you should go to the Blarny stone and kiss it, its suppost to be good luck if you do. If I could find my stuff from when I went I could tell you more places but since that was 11 years ago I dont remember everything.
