My husband and I have a two week trip planned to Ireland. I've relied heavily on the guide in coming up with an itinerary which just so happens to put us in our one night in Galway during the horse races in July.
I was planning to do the trip from Dingle to Galway in one day, as the following day we've planned to take the ferry to Inishmore from Rossaveel and stay the night. My questions are first, can we really make it from Dingle to Galway in the day taking time for the Cliffs of Moher and a drive through the Burren? And second, should we stay in Galway if it's going to be so busy? My husband and I are young and up for adventure but we have just heard the traffic is awful during that time. This option is my first choice!
The other alternative we thought of was to stay the night in Kinvarra (or some other town close by) which affords us slightly more time in County Clare and skips Galway entirely. But then we aren't sure of the early morning trying to make it for the first ferry out of Rossaveel (we could take a later ferry) and don't necessarily want to rely on the ferry out of Doolin.
Many thanks for any and all advice solving this last piece of our itinerary puzzle!!
