We woke up and got going in the late morning for our one full day in London. London in a day and we didn’t get going until 11am? We had our work cut out for us. Specifically, 10.5 miles of walking as we were planning to slay this... Read more

Day 11 of our trip was a bittersweet one, as it meant the end to our time in Ireland (which we loved), but also the start of the next leg and some cask ales in London. This day was mostly a travel day, so unless you’ve very enthralled... Read more

Day 5 of our trip was one I was very excited for, driving the Connemara Loop. Connemara is a sort of oddly defined region of Ireland. It centers around Connemara National Park, but the national park makes up only a small portion of the area... Read more
