    Liebe Heike, vielen lieben Dank für Dein tolles Feedback – das klingt nach einer absolut gelungenen Irland-Reise! Der Mix aus lebendigen Städten, rauer Natur und herzlicher Pub-Kultur ist wirklich etwas ganz Besonderes. Wie schön, dass Ihr im Januar so viele Orte fast für Euch allein genießen konntet – das gibt der Reise nochmal eine ganz eigene Magie. Der Wild Atlantic Way, der Ring of Kerry und die Cliffs of Moher sind echte Highlights – und es freut uns riesig, dass wir Euch dorthin begleiten durften. Vielleicht geht’s ja bald wieder mit journaway auf Tour – wir hätten da noch ein paar weitere Naturwunder im Gepäck! Viele Grüße, Renska von journaway
