#mytraintravel Ireland

From donkey trekking in the French Drome to cliff hiking in the west of Ireland

"We started in Vienna with the night train to Zurich. After a breakfast yoga session in the park opposite Zurich train station, we continued to Geneva and from there along the Rhone through the beautiful nature reserve Maurais de Lavours to Lyon, the culinary capital of France. After an overnight stay in Valence, the following morning we went to Crest, where our donkey hike began: Together with three befriended couples from the north of France and their children we went for five days from one organic farm to the next, through the lovely mountainous region of a Provencal nature reserve. The three donkeys showed us the way better than the map we had been given and on top of that they carried a part of our luggage!"

"From Montelimar we went on via Paris with one change to Cherbourg in Normandy, from where we took the ferry to Rosslare in the Irish southeast. By train and bus we reached our actual destination via some pubs in Dublin and Galway: A small cottage at the sea, with a wide view over the huge bay of Sligo, surrounded only by meadow hills and sheep. In this cottage the band @heavensentcat was born.

All in all it was a dream journey, full of unforgettable moments and encounters..."~ Johannes from Vienna
