Another request for assessment of my road trip plan
Hello! I am hiring a car and have 5 full days (pick up on a Thursday, return on a Tuesday)
Is this doable?
Extra context: I like driving (not in bad traffic obvs)
I’m Australian and used to long drives (record was 1000km in a day but admittedly it wasn’t fun)
I have already seen Dublin.
(Edit: this is for next week )
I’ve tried to cut it back from my original itinerary, but I’m worried it’s still a bit too packed and I don’t have a huge amount of time for Galway city itself. I could cut Killarney National Park reluctantly? Since I am going to Connemara national Park? Or ditch Connemara and the Lost Valley tour. Please give me your strong opinions.
Thurs - 1pm pick up car in Dublin, drive to Killarney NP, see Ross Castle at sunset, stay overnight.
Fri - KNP (gap of Dunloe, ladies view, moll gap, muck Ross estate, torc falls) stay overnight.
sat - KNP bits I missed on Friday, then drive to Galway 3hrs. Stay Galway.
Sun - morning in 2pm lost valley tour in louisburgh (2 hrs from Galway) stay Galway.
Mon - roundstone village (closer alternative to dingle) and Connemara national park (diamond hill hike). Stay Galway.
Tues - drive back to Dublin 4hrs, drop car off by 1pm
