After a little more than 3 weeks in Ireland, it was time to move on. With a quick overnight again in Dublin, we took the Irish Ferries line to Holyhead in Wales for our next adventure. [mappress mapid=”16″] Hiking in Wales Our only bit of rain during our entire time in Ireland came on…
Our final week in Ireland was a mixed bag. We spent half of it back on the road in the Republic of Ireland and half back with Bonnie and Clyde, housesitting in Northern Ireland. County Wicklow When the homeowners returned we took off to explore Wicklow National Park and wow! We took the country…
We’ve had a nice, relaxing week house sitting in Northern Ireland. After a busy week on the road it was great to be able to be a little lazy :). While we spent a few days hanging out with Bonnie and Clyde, our new feline friends, we did manage to get out and about and…

The city of Almeria had been on our ‘Spain’ list from the beginning. However, after adding a week in Morocco and kiteboarding in Tarifa to the itinerary, what began as 2-3 weeks there became just 4 days! We planned to explore the city but were most excited about hiking to various Cabo de Gata beaches…
We didn’t plan on travelling to Morocco. Once we knew we would be visiting Seville, Spain I started looking at the map and wondering where we would go next. As usual, maps and me are a dangerous combination!
