Palma de Mallorca

I'm back from Prague where I spent the weekend to celebrate my 21 birthday! This post is probably my last 'summery' post of this year 2014. So me and my parents had a little family vacation in the middle of september, we went to Majorca for almost a week. We basically spent it lying at the beach, swimming in the ocean and eating delicious food. Certainly we had to pay a visit to the capital of Majorca- Palma. We had a stroll around the beautiful city, saw the majestic cathedral and just tried to capture every little thing the city had to offer. So here are a few of my impressions of Palma: 

We had some delicious ice-cream at this shop, the funny thing about this building was that it periodically produced water vapor, which was not only refreshing but also very unique

I really love the mediterranean architecture and plants

La Seu- The Palma Cathedral 

 City Hall right in front of it was this massive olive tree

The port 

Adiós Palma!

Cork

The last stop of our Ireland adventure was Cork, a city located in the South-west of Ireland. We stayed our last two days there wandering around the city. Cork has a different kind of charm than the cities we have visited before because a lot of the attractions were built uphill so we were always walking up and down whilst exploring everything. 

The English Market- a food market in the centre of Cork, offering all kinds of different food

I've got myself a yummy hotdog and green juice

Seeing these statues was almost like being on Game of Thrones^^

The River Lee which divides the city into two channels

University College Cork- another beautiful university 

Cork City Gaol

Although this was a prison it is a rather nice and historic looking building

Thank you Ireland, I had a whale of a time!

Cliffs of Moher & Doolin

This was by far the highlight of my Ireland journey. So we took the bus from Galway to this sleepy little village called Doolin where we booked one of the Glamping pots, which looks like a wooden igloo. I thought it was a very unique construction and the interior was very nice as well, another plus was that it is right on the camping site next to the ocean. It was by far the quietest night that we had during our whole journey!

So after we had settle our stuff we headed for our 2 hour long hike to the magnificent Cliffs of Moher. Although we mostly headed upwards it didn't feel tiring at all because the scenery was just so utterly beautiful that you would totally forget all the physical exhaustion that you might could've had. Either way you looked everything was so picturesque I could've stayed there for hours. When we arrived at the top the actual Cliffs were so overwhelming, I remember just looking at them and being in complete awe. I hope the photos will be able to at least show a small sight of the immense beauty the Cliffs have to offer. And to all the other people that might want to visit Ireland I can only recommend doing the hike instead of the bus tour because it is so much more fulfilling!

Doolin with its few shops and pubs 

The beginning of our hike- Doonagore Castle

We took a little break and just listened to the waves 

Almost at the Top- had to take a photo with the irish flag

My heart beat a bit faster whilst sitting on the edge

We went to this little pub back in Doolin and the atmosphere was bursting just like I would've  imagined! People were drinking Guinness, singing and having a great time! I ordered Irish stew because I always want to try a bit of the local cuisine whilst I'm traveling

The Glamping pots

Bye bye Cliffs of Moher!

Galway

On the fourth day of our journey we woke up early and took the bus to Galway, a city in the West of Ireland. After a 3 hour bus ride we arrived in the small but very charming university city. The women working in the tourist center was really nice and suggested us seeing some of the famous spots in Galway. We started with the main street-High street and walked our way to the Spanish Arch, the Museum of Galway and to the Galway Cathedral. After our lunch break we headed to the beach and had a nice little walk. We ended the day with a premiere for both me and my friend- a stand-up comedy show. Which was an awesome alternative to your normal night out. 

The busy and colorful High Street

The museum was super interesting made- it had history aspects of the town but also local and foreign exhibitions 

In every city that we have been in Ireland there was always a river crossing our way

Beautiful glass paintings in the Galway Cathedral 

The high ceilings in the Cathedral were really impressive

Of course while being at the seaside you have to have some fish and chips- yummy! 

One of my all time favorite things to do is to walk at the beach barefoot

I really envy those people who can live just by the sea

We found this very charming tea house where we had our tea time!

Sophie and me with the very charming Wilde brothers 

Irelands smallest Comedy Club- great comedians, great fish and chips, great musician and a great end to our day in Galway!
