Galway to Adare

Breathtaking. That's all I have. The scenery around the west coast of Ireland is rugged, wild and truly beautiful.

We left Galway early for a breakfast on the run, a quick stop by a random castle, a chat with a New Zealand lady in the sidewalk, and another chance encounter with an Irishman who has lived and worked in Emerald, at the Cliffs of Moher.

Hugo and I were happy to be out of the car so chose to walk both directions at the Cliffs. The photos do not do this justice. I loved it. It was warm, but very windy, and the wind picked up the music being played by the buskers.. 

After spending the morning, we headed off to Adare, reknown as being  the prettiest village in Ireland. And again, the stories I had heard didn't disappoint. Thatched roofs on houses, pubs on every corner, music playing and happy people everywhere.

If ever you travel to Ireland remember to stay in Sean Collins BnB, which is beside his hotel. Room was spacious and clean, with the best shower we had come across in Ireland. Bridie and Sean were fabulous hosts and we left this morning after warm hugs from these lovely people.

We are heading to Dingle, Bridie has given us strict instructions to drive through the Connor Pass, we will have to try to find this on our map..

Wish us luck..
