• Number42 Enniskillen to Galway.

    30 april 2024, Irland ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    Breakfast at the Old Post Office We got talking to host Sam again about metaphysics, religion politics,and the life the universe and everything. What a nice guy. He wants to move down to Aus or NZ because he sees no future in Europe. He will teach meditation and live in a better environment.
    I have been amazed at how negative the Brits are about their society and where it is headed. One guy who has 2 kids in NZ and 2 in Britain couldn't understand why we would come here on holiday.
    The streets are full of unhappy looking people.
    Not so in Ireland people are warm, friendly, and only bugger is that it is the Emerald Isle as it rains so muchDid not fo to the high point to view anything as it is raining with no cloud.
    Enniskillen was a sweet little place where the city is on an island. We went to the castle and had a nosy around. I was fascinated with this guy fishing using a pole, not a rod, and catching fish after fish. I watched for about 15 minutes, and he caught 3. No bait, just gently lowering a fly and hook into the water and gently bobbing it.
    We bought a bit of tourist tat and then drove onto Beleek pottery, which was started by a John Caldwell. There is a Caldwell castle nearby, but it was 15 miles in another direction, so I skipped that.
    Marina bought a gorgeous lamp, which is being shipped out.
    Fermanagh is a stunningly beautiful county. The Mc Auleys came from a fine pllace.
    It was pretty crappy weather, so we just motored on down to Galway.
    We got Sat Nav going, and an Aussie chick got us straight here
    Haven't slept so well the past few nights, so I hope to crash tonught. On to Kenmare for 2 nights tomorrow ✌️ ☮️
