After a great b and b at Kinvara- headed up to Connemara-aroung Galway and |North to a rugged interesting region with lots of brave sheep on the roads-death defying grazing.
Cute villages and variable weather. Headed back to the hotel booked Sheedy's country house in Lisdoonvarna- had a supurb meal there and then a good night's sleep in a lovely spacious room. Headed to the Cliffs of Moher- a stunning place with a fantastic visitors centre showing the geological development and natural features of the area- a virtual reality show- you being a seagull or a fish depending if you were above or below water level. Well done.
Off south to Foyle where there is a museum about flying boats a blip of history aviation wise - a plane there along with film and uniforms etc. of the time -late 30's to mid 40's. The mouth of the Shannon was ideal and these were used to fly diplomats etc. bet UK and USA and the fist transatlantic crossings.
Off to out grand hotel in tralee- what a nightmare- Therose of tralee festival was on- out st blocked off and sat nav useless!Parked the car then walked and had our dinner-finally unpacked at 9pm after much shenanigans (A useful Irish word!)Woke at 630 to the sound of rolling metal beer kegs- after the bar music session the night before.
