After enjoying a full Irish fry for breakfast (AKA a heart attack on a plate), we were ready for more exploring. Our plan for Sunday was to slowly drive back to Dublin, stopping whenever we saw something that caught our eye.
The view of the Burren from Corkscrew Hills
We stopped for a pint at the oldest pub in Ireland (c.900 AD) in the city of Athlone
An old castle just before Bell Harbour
Matt climbing on centuries old ruins
The ruins were like our own personal castle playground!
An abbey just outside of Bell Harbour
An out building from the abbey
We stopped in Trim to see the large castle ruins in Ireland
As if one castle wasn't enough, there were ruins of a second castle in Trim just across the river in a city park
Our last stop for the day was a ruined monastery/cemetery on the outskirts of Trim
The Celtic crosses in the cemeteries were beautiful

Heart Attack on a Plate is indeed correct. Two things the Irish love are Guiness and a full breakfast. Does the Irish life tickle you lol? X.
