Bunratty, Ennistymon, Liscanor, The Burren, Athlone

20-Oct-2013 • Bunratty, Ennistymon, Liscanor, and Athlone Ireland

While we were in Limerick, we signed up to visit the Bunratty Castle. We loved the visit. It was a theme park showcasing anything and everything Irish here. There was a lot of history and culture, just the way I liked it.

At the stately Falls Hotel in Ennistymon

We stayed at this hotel for a night. We loved our stay here in this stately home. Unfortunately, there wasn't much to see nor do in the immediate vicinity.

I remember walking around town with Marc and a family from Singapore from our tour around 4 pm but everything was closed. Nothing, Zero. Zilch. Nada. There was nothing to see nor do so we just went back to the hotel.
