Ireland - The Falls Hotel in Ennistymon

From Schiphol, I fly to Dublin with Air Lingus in about an hour and a half. Upon landing, the city and harbor are clearly visible. At the airport, I meet the other travelers and our tour leader, Karen. The group consists of around thirty participants, including several solo travelers. Once the group is complete, we walk to the bus. We drive straight out of Dublin and continue to the town of Bray, a few dozen kilometers south of the city. At the hotel, there is more space for everyone to introduce themselves and get to know each other better. After dinner, Ellen and I walk into Bray toward the small beach. The beach is covered with dark pebbles. The sun slowly sets. As it looks like rain might start, we walk back to the hotel. Back at the hotel, we have a drink in our room before going to bed.
