TOP DRIVING TIPS:
We drive on the left, you'll soon get the hang of it!
It's mostly 'stick-shifts', you can expect to pay a premium for an
automatic car, particularly in high season.
Irish roads can be narrow, particularly along the wild Atlantic Way, opt
for a smaller car & say no to 'upgrades'!
Don't forget your GPS! We are 53° 0' 57.7044'' N and 9° 22' 38.7120'' W.25.
