A weekend in Belfast, Northern Ireland

September 8, 2023October 25, 2024Susan
The Lagan River in Belfast

Leaving the farm loft in County Antrim we enjoyed a city break in Belfast (Béal Feirste), the capital and largest city in Northern Ireland.  The drive from Ballycastle to Belfast is less than an hour and we had time to spare before checking into our apartment so we took a scenic route enjoying the countryside.  Read more →

The Dark Hedges, Northern Ireland

After Donegal our route took us north and west towards the town of Ballycastle in Northern Ireland.  Our apartment, Molly’s Loft, was 10 minutes south of Ballycastle surrounded by quiet farmlands with fabulous views of the hills, and close to many attractions on the coast of Northern Ireland.  Read more →

A rainstorm coming in during our hike along Cliffs Of Moher

After almost a month in County Cork and County Kerry we made our way north up the west coast of Ireland.  Our farm stay near the town of Lahinch is close to the Cliffs of Moher and the town of Doolin.  We had one week here hoping there would be a day with decent enough weather to hike along the top of the cliffs.

Kenmare, County Kerry, Ireland

July 19, 2023October 25, 2024Susan
Henry Street, Kenmare

The morning after we arrived in Kenmare we stopped in at the tourist office for a chat and the lady on staff suggested it was going to be a good day to drive the Ring of Kerry from Kenmare to Portmagee.  This disagreed with our weather app, but she’s Irish and maybe she knows better…..nope!!  Read more →

Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland

The Dingle Peninsula

We arrived here from Bandon to a complete turnaround in weather, the wind and rain was howling off the Atlantic and the clouds obscured the hilltops.  The Dingle Peninsula is much more exposed to the cold Atlantic winds Read more →

Victoria Falls, the smoke that thunders, is one of Victoria Falls, the smoke that thunders, is one of the worlds largest waterfalls but was a bit underwhelming in our opinion. From the ground the spray is so intense you can't see very much and at the closest point it's like you are in a shower, we were drenched. From the air you get a much better view of what the falls look like as the Zambezi river plummets in a single vertical drop into a fracture in the plateau. The drop varies from 260ft to 354ft. The spray typically rises over 400 meters obscuring much of the falls from view.
It was an interesting experience but not quite what we had envisioned. The views from the helicopter were the highlight.
