What is there to say about the middle of Ireland? I will leave it to others.
When you leave the Sharon Ferry you can take a left and head up to the coast to Spanish Point, the cliffs of Moher, and The Burren. I turned right through Ennis, Gort and up to Galway.
Galway is another tourist centre and was going to give it a miss but glad I didn’t. Plenty to do and see with a great atmosphere. Had a great evening in Tigh Choili with its traditional music. Get there early and enjoy Galway’s Latin Quarter.
Couple of pics from the LQ
From Galway it was up to Carrick-on-Shannon but no ferry this time. Carrick is one of those places that has developed a reputation for stag and hen parties and was buzzing this Saturday. You can get on a party boat on the river and let yourself go in the 60 minutes it takes to complete the cruise.
If you go the other way out of Galway you have the coast and hills on Connemara and regret not having the time to go there.
