Day8
weiter in den Norden nach Clifden
June 26, 2018 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Nachdem der Tag schon früh mit der Distillery Tour begonnen hat, wollten wir dennoch unser Ziel Clifden in der Region Connemara erreichen und heute war es nicht nur warm sondern ‚richtig‘ warm.
Hatten bis zu 32 Grad ☀️😎.
Über Screebe, Kilkerin, Cashel, Roundstone und Ballyconnelly mit seiner Wahnsinnslandschaft und seinen Moorgebieten.

Nach dem wir nun schon etwas über 8 h unterwegs waren, war es Zeit nach einer Unterkunft zu suchen und natürlich nach Essen Ausschau zu halten. Gebucht haben wir heute ein Hotel mit Pool (leider nicht benutzt🙈) und für uns heute war es wichtig mit Late Checkin bis 23:00 einchecken zu können. Es bleibt ja hier bis dahin hell. Gefunden haben wir das Station House Hotel in Clifden, 250m vom Zentrum weg. Das garantiert die Nähe zu den Pubs.🍻🥃.

15 km vor unserem Ziel fanden wir dann ein Seafood-Restaurant mit tollem Blick aufs Meer. Natürlich könnten wir daran nicht vorbei und haben lecker gegessen.

Nach dem Check In, Duschen und Umziehen ging noch auf 2/3 Schlummertrunke ins Pub. Live Musik mit Riesenstimmung ( und das an einem Dienstag 😊)Read more

Marconi Wireless Station

This is the place, where the first trans-atlantic wireless service was established in 1907 and went on on a regular basis until 1917. It was destroyed during the Irish Civil War in 1922. On the same spot, Captain John Alkock and Leutenant Arthur Brown made an unplanned landing during the first non-stop trans-atlantic flight from Newfoundland.Read more

Kylemore Abbey and Gardens
August 25, 2017 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Kylemore abbey is still a fully working abbey. Until 2010 the abbey was used as a school. In the early 1920s, nuns from Belgium, who lost the abbey during the Ypres battle during the WWI, bought the castle and turned it into an abbey. Today it is together with the gardens one of the main tourist attractions of the area. But it was a rich businessman from Manchester, who built the castle in the 1880s. He had to sell the castle because of gambling.Read more

Ballynahinch Castle
June 3, 2016 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
We arrived at the castle today. One of the things I've been anticipating most. It did not disappoint. It's famous for it's Salmon fishing, but it absolutely georgous! I wish we could have stayed longer, but it was a bank Holiday weekend and so they were booked up the rest of the weekend. We will have to plan out next trip with better timing..lol There are several walks aroung the grounds you can do. The one we did today was a couple of hours. There are two others we will give a go at tomorrow. This part of the country almost felt like we were back in Colorado. I think I found the identiy of my ghost here. :) We also got to meet some locals. Our room is below and was on the lower corner.Read more

Took a hike before leaving the castle. Saw the old train depot, baby fish in the river and the sheep that Joyce swore would stomp us to death and eat us if we got to close.
Lovely!
