Tuesday August 6 – Cliffs of Moher through to Bunratty
The drive from Limerick to the cliffs was very scenic, and quite wet. It rained quite a lot along the way but also cleared to have beautiful patches of sunshine. Along with lots of other tourists we arrived at the cliffs and parked. Ros wanted to get a scarf as it was windy and cold outside, we also decided to buy a poncho at a shop just in case it rained. That would be a wise decision. Well, mostly.

Monday 5 August 2019 – Shenzhen to Dublin
This time we were flying on the Dreamliner – Boeing 787. Given the improvements made to the airplanes over the years we wanted to test out the theory that it is better for people. This plane had two separate business class sections. We were in the second half, just in front of Economy (not that you would know it).

Sunday, 4 August 2019 – Cairns to Shenzhen
Our day started by getting up early. Early bird gets the worm, or so they say. Research we did on what lounge access was available in Cairns was not good – the only lounge, the Reef Lounge, was apparently destined to close on 1 August, days before we arrived. We had a buffet breakfast at the hotel given that we may not have the opportunity to have something substantial at the airport. Your typical Aussie breakfast – bacon, eggs, hash browns, baked beans, juice etc.

Saturday, 3 August 2019 – Brisbane to Cairns
Our trip to Dublin started in Brisbane, as you would expect. Rather than the typical route through Dubai, London or Abu Dhabi, we went via Cairns. On Saturday afternoon we departed Brisbane on Qantas, arriving to a wet and cold(ish) Cairns. Flight time was about 2.5 hours, similar to Brisbane to Melbourne.
