WE ARE STILL IN IRELAND AND I LIKE IT

WEEKEND IN IRELAND

Ja tagasi reisi planeerimise juurde. Nägin, et paljudele pakub huvi kui palju mingi reis maksma läheb.
Otsustasin, et teen taolisi postitusi erinevate reiside kohta ning täna vaatame üle, kui palju maksab nädalavahetus Iirimaal.

Tervet reisiplaani saate näha siin.

And back to planning. I saw that several of you were interested of how much each trip/vacation costs.
Decided to do similar posts about different destinations and today let’s look how much it costs to spend a weekend in Ireland.

Total plan you can see here.

EXPENSES IN IRELAND

Lend Kopenhaagen-Dublin-Kopenhaagen: 40€

Öö Dublinis: 19€ (soovitan Durban House B&B)

Buss Dublin-Galway-Dublini lennujaam: 27€

Buss Galway-Connemara-Galway: 17€

Kaks ööd Galways: 40€

Kahe päeva hommik-, lõuna-, õhtusöök (toidupoest): 13€ kamba peale, kokku oli 40€ kolme inimese peale

Well, see reis oli odav võrreldes sellega kui palju me ringi sõitsime ning olime siiski seal kolm ööd.
Kokku läks ligi 156€ – must love Ryanair.
Kindlasti natukene rohkem läks see, arvestades, et kohvitasime ka mõnes kohas ning bussisõit lennujaamas kesklinna oli ka paar eurot.

Flight Copenhagen-Dublin-Copenhagen: 40€

Night in Dublin: 19€ (recommend Durban House B&B)

Bus Dublin-Galway-Dublin’s airport: 27€

Bus Galway-Connemara-Galway: 17€

Two nights in Galway: 40€

Two day’s breakfast, lunch and dinner (from supermarket): 13€, we bought for three people and prepared by yourself

Well, that trip was cheap compared to everything what we did and spent there three nights.
In total it was around 156€ – must love Ryanair.
For sure it was a little bit more expensive, as we also had a coffee stops and bus trip from airport to city center were also few euros.

NOTES TO THE TRIP

Ostke bussipiletid varakult ära, kuna buss võib olla ääreni täis

Galway-Connemara National Park bussi number on 923

Kui sa lähed Connemara National Parki, valmista sööki endaga kaasa (soovitus)

Ryanairil võib olla väga soodsaid pileteid Dublinisse

Connemara National Park matk on umbes 7 kilomeetrit pikk

Buy the bus tickets before the trip itself, as the bus can be full

Galway-Connemara National Park’s bus number is 923

If you go to the Connemara National Park, prepare food with you (just recommendation)

Ryanair can have really cheap tickets to Dublin

Connemara National Park hike is around 7 kilometers long

See, et võtsime suuna Dublinisse, oli totaalselt hetkeemotsiooni otsus.

‘Kas sul on see kuupäev vaba?’
‘Jah’
‘Dublin 40€ eest edasi ja tagasi, oled käpp?’
‘Jah’

… ning piletid olid ostetud…
Nali naljakas, ma tegelikult ajasin Islandi ja Iirimaa enda mõttemaailmas sassis ning esimene mõte peas oli see imeline Islandi loodus, mida ma saan viimaks näha… kuni ma avastasin kuhu ma tegelikult lähen. 😀 See juhtus siis peale piletite ostmist, mistõttu sihiks sai reisida Dublinist välja.

The decision why we went to Dublin, it can unexpectedly.

‘Is that date free for you?’
‘Yes’
‘Dublin there and back for 40€, are you in?’
‘Yes’

And next moment we had tickets.
Funny fact. I actually mixed Ireland and Iceland in my mind, so after buying the tickets, I though I will go to Ireland and see that amazing nature. Well, soon enough I realized where I’m going actually, which is why we decided to travel outside of Dublin.

FRIDAY – Dublin/Galway

Esimene päev tegime väikse tiiru Dublinis ning esimene mulje – KUI PALJU KOHVIKUID NEIL ON? Ei nali (..või siis mitte 😀 ). Igatahes, kirju linn, mis tegelikult ei jäta nii suurelinna mulje (mulle isiklikult) ning kujutasin Dublinit ette veidi puhtamana. Dublin saab tuleviku nädalavahetuse reisi sihiks, siis kui olen 60 +.

Õhtuks reisisime Galywaysse, pileti hinnaks 10€ ning sõitsime kaks tundi. Galway – vot oli see õige Iirimaa mida ma ootasin Iirimaalt.

During first day we had a little round trip in Dublin and first impression – HOW MANY CAFES THEY HAVE? No kidding (.. or not.. 😀 ). Anyways, Dublin is colorful city and actually I though it’s a little bigger and well, cleaner. I think when I’m 60+ then I may go back there, as it is quiet chill place.

On Friday we also drove to Galway by bus, which was 10€ and two hours. Galway – well that city looks like real Ireland.

SATURDAY – Connemara

Laupäeva hommikul võtsime suuna Connemara National parki, milles sai mu elu esimene matkamine mägedes (mäel*). Päev enne seda ostsime hunnikus toitu kaasa ning olime totaalselt valmis küpsiseid närima matka jooksul. Edasi-tagasi pilet sinna 17€ ning kui on päikseline ilm nagu meil oli, siis see on kohe kindlasti seda väärt! Ajaa, matka pikkuseks oli 7 kilomeetrit, ehk ei midagi hullu.

On Saturday morning we took a bus to Connemara National park, which actually was my life’s first hike on the mountain. A day before we bought a lot of food and were fully prepared to eat cookies on the way. There and back bus ticket was 17€ and if you will have as sunny day as we had, man.. you are lucky! Ah yeah, the hike is around 7 kilometers long.

Muidugi üheks reisi sihiks sai NÄHA LAMBAID.. Ning tõestuseks Teile siia, et me tõesti nägime ka. 😀

Of course one of our goals during the trip was to see the sheeps and here you go, a little proof of it. 😀

SUNDAY – Dublin (flight back)

Ausalt? Maksime bussijuhile peale, et Galwayst otse lennujaama saada, ehk teoreetiliselt oli pühapäev ainult tagasireisimiseks. Põhjus miks mulle ei meeldi lennud ajast 12:00-18:00 – päev on otseses mõttes raisku läinud. 😀 Teoreetiliselt oligi meil kaks täispikka päeva selle reisi jooksul ehk soovitan pühapäevane reis hiljemaks lükata, siis saate veel Dublinis ringi käia enne kui lennujaama lähete.

Honestly? We even paid more to the bus driver to get straightly to the airport. Basically our Sunday was in a way ‘waste’, which is why I hate flights during 12:00-18:00 – you just travel then 😀 . Basically we had two full days for that trip, which is why I recommend to take later flight on Sunday, then you still can have a little journey in Dublin before the airport.
