Cliffs of Moher...well, you just have to go there! The Burren is really different.
Springtime would be gorgeous with all the flowers peeking their heads out of the cracks and crevices.
Galway is population 72,000. Not cool driving into it at 4 pm on Friday. Got stuck in work traffic, college traffic, holiday traffic and you-name-it traffic! I thought
I was going to go crazy going around the roundabouts, cars and trucks on all sides, going fast and every-which-way. It took all 3 of us watching for the Salthill Signs where our b&b was. Sometimes they would be brown then switch to white so you never knew what to look for OR where it would be placed in the 10 signs on one pole. I really don't think roundabouts are safe! Anyway, we made it after calling the b&b. Although we still got lost after talking to them because we missed the T-junction. They use the term T-junction over here alot and not the street name. Ahhh...t-junction with the street name on a big boulder on the ground does not make for finding your way now, does it?
We found our way to the street where all the action was for resturants and pubs, oh and casinos and bingo halls! Who would have thought? I went in to the casino to see if they served food and to have a look at a slot machine with euros! Pretty quiet in there. Music starts at 9:45 around here so that puts a damper on that. We heard of one place that starts at 5 pm but it is right in the city center of Galway and I'm not driving into there with this busy traffic! England is having a bank holiday so they all come over here for the weekend.
Pictures here or next post!
