Hello Ireland travelers,
Details first: old woman, solo traveler, walks with cane, carry on only, will be arriving from Crickhowell, Wales after a conference in Oxford, England. Want more details on my schedule, please ask! I am experienced in traveling with my cane and try my best to not let it slow me down. My first instinct was to just go to Rome as usual (indeed, this time last year I was finishing up a 90-day visit to Rome), but I have been there over 25 times and my sister suggested Ireland would be an interesting change for me.
I have about two weeks set aside to visit Ireland (September 6, to September 20 are the dates I have open on my calendar). Due to my walking difficulties, I will be focusing on Dublin and private day trips out and back from there. I would love to wander/walk/hike about the beautiful country but know that those days have passed for me since my leg injury.
So, I am asking for recommendations for places, tours, drivers, etc., that one should visit considering my limited walking abilities and using Dublin as my base. I am open to suggestions, dos/don'ts, anything really. While budget is always to be looked at, right now I am exploring the possibilities. I know Dublin is an expensive European city and that private tours can be costly.
Thanks for reading and any input is graciously accepted.
