We started by renting a car. — well if you go to a new country that not only is a new country but it’s also an island, it is kind of normal to have to rent a car if you’re planning a road trip.

Being my first time renting a car, I was not smart enough to know that I needed insurance, the good thing is that my friend had a credit card with enough limit for that.

And then we leave the airport … well that was the first moment of a week of almost panic for my friend. She didn’t have a driver’s license and I had never driven in a country where we shouldn’t be on the left …. That only meant that I heard numerous yells like “ YOU’RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD”

“YOU’RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD”

Besides the danger that I was in the streets of Ireland, this was an amazing trip, Ireland is definitely the Emerald Island that they talk about, and there are so many ways to enjoy getting lost, for any road we took another pearl was found, some breathtaking view, a graveyard that looked as old as St Patrick, or just that Pub around the corner that would serve you some Irish stew and Guinness (or a local brewer beer).
