Ireland – A Brief History.
The first people to inhabit Ireland, dating from 8000 BC and around 300 BC, was invaded by the Celts.
In the 5th century AD, with the arrival of Saint Patrick and the expulsion of the pagan religion, the Christian was established.
The 8th century AD and during the 9th century it was ruled by the Vikings, who founded Dublin in 988 AD.
In 1169 AD, the Norman invasion began, first by expelling the Vikings and then by dominating the Irish, initiating English rule.
The Era of the War of Independence and the Civil War.
From 1919 to 1921, a war of independence broke out.
And from 1922 to 1923, there was then a severe civil war.
In 1937, the Republic of Ireland approved its constitution as an independent, while Northern Ireland remains an integral part of the United Kingdom.
Dublin
I don’t know much about Ireland and Dublin but one thing I know that Irish people like to drink and it seems that this is true, many of the city’s attractions are related to drinks, for example The temple bar, Jameson Distillery and the most famous Guinness.
Of course there are castles, parks, churches but everything is in the background.
Since we’re here, let’s go for drinks. We spent an afternoon in Guinness, learned the process and tasted several beers and to finish we went to fill the mug in the bar inside the factory.
You can already understand the result.
Now it’s a mix of feelings.
With opposites in all of them.
Much joy, for the dream realized, for the adventure lived, for the people that I lived and places that I visited.
And of course also going home, seeing friends and family again.
On the other side, sadness, at the end of the path, friends I left, places I didn’t visit.
It was 250 days, 26 countries, 82,000 kilometers traveled, I met wonderful people and incredible places.
Now it’s time to go home. And the only certainty I have is:
The road continues.
