People ask me all the time: what was the most beautiful place you visited on your journey? I visited a lot of beautiful places in my months in Ireland and Scotland. But some of them are real highlights that I still cherish. So, in no particular order, here are my 3 highlights for Ireland. Skellig Michael What a mystical place! Ancient beehive huts where monks used to live. Cragged rock islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Now, together with Little Skellig, a bird sanctuary. I was there during the breeding season of the puffins.
