Visit
My grandparents arrived on Friday without any problems, and we’ve had a good time this weekend. I’m still feeling a bit off from my cold, so on Saturday we took it pretty easy, going for a mooch around Galway. We strolled down to the harbour to visit the swans…
…before walking back up into the centre for lunch (and Guinness of course!) at Tigh Neachtain where we enjoyed a great chowder, followed by a stroll around the Saturday market and a few shops. We finished up with a very enjoyable meal at McDonaghs restaurant.
Sunday we drove into the Burren, where we visited the Cliffs of Moher and the Poulnabrone dolmen (a 5000 year old tomb). It chucked it down all day, but that just added atmosphere 😉
The dolmen is set in the middle of the limestone fields in the burren, which makes for a very strange landscape.
Grandad’s looking a bit damp in this one.
