When I created my blog, i was searching through the different designs. I spotted this beautiful picture of the Cliffs of Moher, Ireland. It was out of question for me to pick this as my background.
I've first been to Ireland in 2010. It was a trip of our English class from school. Though we've only been to Dublin we have instantly fallen in love with this country. The next few years I always felt the need to come back. Due to my Abi-exams ( FYI: Abi or Abitur is the highest graduation you can earn in german schools) and my apprenticeship starting immidiately after, I never found the time (or money) to fly over.
That changed last summer.
My boyfriend and I booked hilariously cheap flights and flew over for a few days. Though our hotel, based in the central of Dublin, was... well... shite, we had a great time. I've only been to Dublin that one time in 2010, but as soon as i walked out of our hotel, I felt that i still knew this city pretty well. It was like i didn't even need to look on city maps or else to find everything I wanted to show my boyfriend. It almost felt a little bit like home (cheesy-alert!)
Here are some pictures
Me, being the stereotype tourist hanging around Temple Bar
Snapple is hard to get in Germany - always going cray whenever I find it

My photographing skills are the BEST =D
This is The Spire, The Needle, The Stiletto in the Ghetto...
Why so pretty?
Temple Bar - again....
There are so much more Dublin pics I have!! Love it there!!
But let's go on to the Cliffs of Moher.
We booked an organized bus trip and started at 7am in the morning. It turned out to be the rainiest day of our holiday. But it wasn't to bad because we stayed in the bus most of the day. Here and then our driver pulled over to give us a ridiculous amount of time to take pictures. We ran out of the bus, took 5 or 6 pictures and hopped into the bus again. After hours of driving we have finally been there - Cliffs of Moher.
If you stand at those cliffs you realize that pictures can not describe how massive they are.
As I said, we didn't have the best weather. It was cloudy, it was rainy AND windy. I've never been to a more windy place before. Our guide told us that people, who traspassed the visitors area and walked to the very edge of the cliffs, were hit over by the wind and fell 200 meters to their death.

Hello there, friend!
I feel like there is a lot more to tell and to share. If you would like to read more about Dublin or Ireland in general, write it in the comments below. If you have any questions - feel free to ask. I hope to have the right answer for you :)
So, for the moment - Slainte ( Cheers in Gaelic )
