Galway is a lovely little city - bustling streets with street musicians and artists every ten steps. Brilliant Irish music available everywhere. We made friends with a couple of Aussie girls who we met in our Belfast backpackers, and coincidentally were staying in the same backpackers in Galway too!
I left the boys alone for a day while they wallowed in a hangover and cruised over Inis Mor - one of the Aran islands. Beautiful place with so much history and its seems they haven't moved much through time! still very quaint villages (a village can be made up of just 8 houses) and classic Gaelic people. Very cold though - luckily the islands are famous for their woollen jumpers and other wares, so I invested in some Aran island socks to get me home with risk of hypothermia.
We've now made it to a very small town, in the middle of Ireland, called Banagher. My old flatmate from Whiti, Keelim, lives here and is showing us around. Ironically the smaller the towns seem the get the bigger our nights turn out! Not much rest for the liver as yet :)
Keelim might be taking us up the River Shannon for a cruise later this evening. Then tomorrow we head to Dublin for one more night of rest before scooting over to Aberdeen for some Angus cattle farming!!
Loving it x
