Kerry







Ring of Kerry

 

It was our anniversary weekend and we decided to go to infamous Ring of Kerry. I’ve been there before with my bff and her family.

 

We went to the ring of Kerry alrite but didn’t manage to take any picture because it was too dangerous to stop and take picture. It was beautiful alrite.

 

We went to Dingle of the next day. In theory we should be able to see dingle the dolphin if we go on the boat but it was close that day.

 

Food – We brought food from home so we can have picnic on the way. We had our lunch at Moneygall. I remember we Obama went there as well when he had his visit to Ireland before.

 

We had a lovely breakfast at our B&B. I remember the wifi was so bad. My cousin and my friend went to the lobby just to get a better connection.

 

We had fish and chips and Dingle town. It was raining but I think we managed to grab some souvenirs.

 

We had a quick visit at Kildare Village before we head home. Had their pasta there. It was tasty.

Donegal, Sligo

Donegal, Bundoran, Sligo
 
So Umar, Aidan, Qisya and aunty bee had it plan to go to Bundoran so we will have a holiday together. We rent a 4 bedrooms house to keep us together. They also have 4 bathrooms. The kitchen was lovely and we cook a lot there. Daddy even brought curry paste and ginger.
 
We brought lunch on departure so we will have nice picnic on the way. But it was raining until we get to the house. We had lunch at the house instead. We had noodle and sandwiches. The journey was about 3 hours from Dublin.
 
The boys went for groceries shopping after that and hubby cooks dinner.
 
We want to go to beach on next day because it supposed to be nice on a sunny day but typical summer in Ireland it was raining that day. We decided to go to a waterpark instead. It was something different because we never visit any waterpark in Dublin. The water in kids pool are a lot warmer than adult. I find myself keep bringing Umar there just for a better water. It was fun and different.
 
Then we when get home and had barbeque I think. We brought chicken from Dublin. We have nice breakfast on next day as well.
 
On the way home next day we visit Bunduran beach for a quick one. Then bought some souvenirs. Daddy loves the souvenirs so much.
 
Then we went visit a beach in Sligo. We were lucky because it was really a nice day. Umar finally get to know the sand and the sea.
 
We even have icecream. First icecream for Umar.

Cork






Cork

 

 

So we went to Cork so I can redeem the voucher that I won during the Bake- off competition at the Ballymaloe. But the voucher only for one night. I have to say this trip is the most relax holiday I ever have.

We travel to Cork so I decided to stay in Travelodge. I have to say I love Travelodge because the bathroom have bathtub at a very reasonable price and also parking. Won’t complain about the bed and room because they very clean and neat.

 

After check in we went for a quick bite at the café in the Travelodge.

Ramen for dinner. A friend of us work there  but we thought the restaurant in the town but it’s actually outside town but close to the Cork University. Food was awesome. Even Umar loves it.

 

We went to Ballymaloe next day. Didn’t realise the place is very private. Suit whoever to want to relax. It’s beautiful. The food is tasty. Probably will have to go there again because I have another voucher to redeem.

 

There’s play area for Umar. There’s also swimming pool but I think it’s a bit public so not suitable for mummy. But that’s ok because Umar happy with the sand area and the slide.

 

No tv, internet coverage very low and kids not allowed in dining hall after 7. We end up order room service because don’t really want go out because not familiar with the road and street. The 7 meal room service was really nice.

 

We went for another walk around the city next day. We had kebab.
