Tree weeks on the Emerald isle
June 28, 2007 - Dublin, Ireland
I discovered that most people tour Ireland in a few days, a week or 10 days… but not us. Bec and I decided to do it in tree weeks because we wanted to see as much as possible and tree weeks sounded funny. I also discovered that pretty much everyone was travelling around the country clockwise…but not us. Bec and I decided to go anti...
