Well 2 days blogging to do and already can't remember what we did may be I'll make it up as I go along
Day dawned in Dingle no better ,worse if any thing. Abandoned the trip around the peninsular as it was really clagging in. Before that though ,the B&B was the best yet , the man was a very quietly spoken ex dairy farmer so after a beautiful breakfast (not full fatty Irish this time) ,we set off .Stopped off when we saw a farmer in his yard and had a look around his milking parlour and yakked for a time really putting us behind our schedule .As I said we didn't make the peninsular so we headed on up the west coast this the most unattractive place we have seen so far heaps of holiday homes on a desolate coast on a desolate day .Stopped cos C said she just felt that she needed fish and chips ,well what a mistake they tasted like shite ,so the next quiet wall received our offerings. Which reminds me ,the place has almost no bird life except, ....Rooks heaps of them and very quiet .But the look the part on top of the ruins On to The Cliffs Of Moher spectactular limestone cliffs .Completely over over run by tourists .we had to park our car and walk 5mins up a hill ,by the time we had done that the car had disappeared in mist rain whatever. Continued on to Galway ,we had heard from Anne D that Carmel had a job in a hotel there. We got to a moderate B&B about 730 and when we tracked Carmel down we found she was about 40 mins out of town, but C had a long talk to her. In a shop selling Aran jerseys I found that Morans have their patterns ,as all clans have. This was particularly handy when sailors were lost as they could identify them from their jerseys ,sort of early DNA testing.
Went out to pub in Galway city central called Paddy's(what else) for dinner and had a little wander around hoping that we could remember how to get home as we didn't have tom tom and didn't know what the name of our b&b was .However managed ok .Too tired now will finish tomorrow
