Achill Island

We had a lovely B&B booked on Achill Island. The drive from Clifden to Achill Island was amazing. We were on a national road , so well marked lanes, even when it wound up and down hills and around the Killary Fjord, we had room for oncoming traffic. It was a good thing because the tour busses were out in force. The only negative to the tour buses was it didn't leave many parking spots for us. We stopped for a walk through both Westport and Newport. It was nice to stretch our legs and see the sights. We drove past our B&B to drive to the end of Achill Island. There was a huge kite surfing festival taking place with so many campervans and caravans. And sheep, oh my goodness, sheep everywhere. The last part of the drive to Keem Beach was breathtaking, and the beach itself was beautiful. The B&B was so nice, I sat in the sunroom looking out at Achill Sound and caught up on my footprints. We walked over the swing bridge to the Achill Island Hotel for dinner and some people watching. We were Fionas' last guests of the season. She was a wonderful host, and her home was lovely.もっと詳しく
