Day 81: Loughrea to Rostrevor

Had a look around this town and brekky at the bakery. Weather was naff. Plan was to slowly make our way to Rostrevor (graham surprised me by booking accommodation at the Rostrevor Inn). Stopped at a town called Athelone to discover it has the “oldest” Irish pub, Sean’s pub. It’s in the Guinness book of records. Of course we had to have a beer there. The publican was awesome and the waitress was friendly and chatty. I tried my first Guinness - not really me. Drove to the town of Moate but that was a bust. Called into Dundalk for street art and lunch at the Jockey’s bar. The steak and Guinness stew was rich and hearty. Made our way to Carlingfird on the coast via Greenore. Got on the “beach”. Followed the coast around to Rostrevor from Ireland to Northern island. Drove through the Rostrevor forest. Light dinner at the Rostrevor Inn and were delighted with the best room yet.もっと詳しく
