The beginning of the Ireland photos... there are a LOT. Our first full day in Ireland we took a bus tour to The Cliffs of Moher from Dublin. A three plus hour trip, with a stop and tour at an original Irish country farm.
Cute little Red bird!
Sleepy. We had to wake up around 5am to make it to the city center by 6:30am to catch our bus. So, living the glamorous life... plus it was freezing that early in the morning.
I spy a castle!
...and this is the sort of thing I do in photos. Because I'd rather be taking it, but was ordered by everyone I know to take photos that featured myself. For memories or something?

The Cliffs of Moher have been the top thing on my bucket list for forever. It was one of those things I wondered about, could they could really live up to the hype? I can safely and confidently say, yes. They do. And if you can have a gorgeous, clear, sunny day to take them in, do it. Because it was something I'll never forget.
Hoping to post my Harry Potter Studio tour photos and start with Ireland this week... til then, enjoy this gorgeous panoramic I captured on my iphone. I kept forgetting I had the ability to shoot these because I had the iphone 4 when I was in Australia so it wasn't an option! Now it is and that makes me happy!

We walked all over the city of Amsterdam. Visiting the Anne Frank House, the Vondlepark, The Nine Streets, we did some shopping, had some coffee. Took a canal tour, went to a comedy show and ate delicious food. The city was ablaze with orange, as the World Cup was on and they take their team spirit seriously in The Netherlands. We couldn't have navigated our way around Amsterdam without the
City Maps 2 Go Pro app (it works offline and will guide you- it was a lifesaver our whole trip, but especially in Amsterdam! Just a little tip for those of you looking to travel in the future, it was super helpful)
Fairly often, in the afternoons we would head to a Starbucks. Now... before you "poo-poo" all over that, hear me out. I was on a hunt to get the city mugs from each city, so there was that. Also, Starbucks always have seating AND free wifi. Plus you know what you're going to get. (don't get me started on the potential suspense at ordering an iced coffee in Australia. Ya never knew how exactly they'd interpret the order!) Starbucks would provide a nice respite, plus allow a little Instagram time. Perfect.
On our canal tour we sat with a couple from Sydney, Australia (ha! Perfect!) who were traveling to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. They were sweet enough to snap this photo of Val and I.
This houseboat had a chandelier. NBD.
The line at the Anne Frank House. They had free wi-fi in line...classy.
