Weekend Getaway to Guernsey

Matt and I often lament the fact that we can't travel full-time.  Oh, if only.  We just squeeze it in as we can and most of our travel involves weekend excursions.  We're always looking for someplace new to visit for a few days.  I've mentioned before that we usually start our search on Google Flights looking for inexpensive flights that are less than 3 hours in the air.  This was an easy one.  It took us longer to get to the airport than it did to fly to Guernsey. 

Coast and Castle

*I received a complimentary tour from Dublin Bus for the purposes of review. 

Editing all of these photos from Ireland is so bittersweet.

So many gorgeous sights, I just ache to be back there.

Here are some photos from the Dublin Bus North Coast and Castle Tour.

The three-hour tour with live commentary takes you to Malahide Castle

and then along the North Coast ending with a short stop in Howth.

(The price for adults is €24 and €12 for children 5-14.)

I'm starting with the pictures from Howth because it was just gorgeous and I wanted to stay.

And I saw some seals!  I was so excited!

Along with a man in purple trunks swimming in that frigid water. Brrr!

We saw swimmers everywhere that we went.

Apparently, a cold dip is supposed to be very good for your health.

I hope you enjoy the photos.  I'm having such a hard time narrowing them down.

So you will have to forgive me for the photo heavy post.

Have you ever taken a dip in the cold Irish sea?

(I think I need to add this to my bucket list.)
