Hi Friends,
I'm planning a trip in September/October. I'm a single woman in her early 30s who is very comfortable traveling on her own. The first part of the trip with my sister, her husband, and my brother is generally set out:
Day 1: Fly into Shannon from London- note, we will already have spent several days in Europe, so time zone challenges are over. Get a rental car, check out Bunratty Castle and Folkpark, then drive to our BnB in Doolin for a night of enjoying a local pub
Day 2: Morning horseback ride, afternoon hike to the Cliffs of Moher, another night at a Doolin Pub.
Day 3: Drive from Doolin to Dublin, drop off the 3 siblings at our AirBnB, then drop off the rental car at the airport and get to Dublin. Maybe do a few sights if we have time, in particular the literary pub tour.
Day 4: Game of Thrones Tour, Dublin to Winterfell- this is the big priority of my siblings, I'm along for the ride.
Day 5: Dublin sites, especially the Book of Kells, but whatever other priorities my siblings have. My sister and her husband fly back to London that night, my brother to LA early the next morning.
for Day 6 to 11 I'm on my own. So I'll have five full days to explore wherever I want. Day 11 is the flight home. I'll be one of the drivers of the rental car in the early part of my trip, so I could rent a car again, but I won't have a navigator. I've debated a few different routes, but if you were in this situation, where would you go next? Thanks for any advice!
