To Sligo (Sligeach) for the Ben Bulben (Binn Ghulbain)

From the very north in Northern Ireland Will and I drove down to Sligo, in the province Connacht, back in Ireland, to check its natural beauties.


We spent the night in Sligo and left the hostel very early to see what it's hilly surroundings are about.
We reached the plateau Ben Bulben, 16 north from Sligo by sunrise.

Being at that impressive place in the early morning with the sun about to rise made the whole experience very special.
Will drove further to the Glencar waterfalls just around the Ben Bulben, at the Glencar Lough. Once there I experienced one of the most beautiful sunrises ever.



Such an outstanding and typical landscape one can only see in Ireland.
Amazed by all this beauty.

Now to the cliffs of Moher.
Cheers everyone!

Back on the island of green

Ready for the last trip in Europe before leaving it. Yes!
Soon I'll be leaving Germany after 13 years on the Germanic ground. But this is stuff for the next post. This one is intended to be the initial report about my last trip in European.

Destination, better, destinations are Ireland and Northern Ireland. Roaming around the island of green and meeting my bro Junior in Dublin, my friend Will in Belfast and the globetrotter Travis Elenytski somewhere along the way.

Besides Dublin and Belfast, the Giants Causeway, Sligo, Limerick, cliffs of Moher, lots of nature and the local beer are in the plan.

It sounds just perfect for a farewell trip in Europe. Excited! Yay!
That's me along the way!

Cheers!
