Donegal and back to Dublin

We drove up to where Robyn's family is originally from. We stayed at a cute little hostel outside of Donegal town with sheep across the road! It was a beautiful drive up and there were such cute little towns all along the way with plenty of countryside to take pictures of.
We had breakfast in town and visited Donegal Castle before driving back to Dublin which was our most adventurous part of the trip. At one point we somehow ended up driving through Northern Ireland and after that we discovered some engine trouble. We pulled up to the car rental place in Dublin (lights flashing, barely able to hit the speed limit) but we managed to get the car back in one piece which is more then most can say about their experience driving on the wrong side of the road!
