Von seiner sehr verregneten Seite hat sich heute Galway gezeigt. Nach einer Woche Sonnenschein wurde es aber auch mal Zeit, kam uns schon vor wie ein Gerücht das es hier viel regnet 😬 erst Sightseeing in der Stadt, dann zum Whiskey-Tasting und dann zum Vegane Pizza essen. Später wurde wir noch bei Live-Musik und Gesang von Straßenkünstlern vom Pub aus unterhalten.Read more

Day 13
Galway
September 17, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Nach all der Ruhe, Natur und Weite kommt mit Galway sehr voll und eng vor. Es gibt aber jede Menge nette Geschäfte, Märkte und Cafés.

Die Kathedrale ist zwar aus dem 20. Jahrhundert aber denn einen Abstecher wert.Read more

Day 79
Galway Bay - The Irish Tenors
November 1, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C
This morning, we packed for the next few days before our driver, Kevin, picked us up at 11. The following hours were spent driving across the country (again) with a stop about halfway to Galway. We arrived in Galway city earlier than our flat was ready, so we killed some time at the aquarium. After an hour or so, Kevin dropped us off at our Airbnb. We didn’t spend very long sitting around, instead we headed for the bookstore and a pub for dinner. One lovely meal later, we ended up in another pub for music. By the time we got home, we were pretty tired and went to bed early.Read more

Day 80
Cliffs Edge - Hayley Kiyoko
November 2, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
We had a nice breakfast of pastry before meeting Kevin outside of his hotel. He took us to the Cliffs of Moher where we spent the next 3 hours exploring and walking around. The landscape was gorgeous and felt almost intimate in its beauty. Afterwards, we had lunch at the cafe and checked out the Cliffs exhibit. We left for the Wild Atlantic Way and stopped at an incredible beach. On the ride home we passed the Burren, rolling hills over the sea. Eventually we returned to Galway and parted ways with Kevin. Once we dried off, we had Italian at the Milano restaurant nearby. Before going home, Mom bought mittens and socks while Dad and I each picked a sweater. Finally, we headed home and retired for the night.Read more

Day 12
Travel day Dingle to Galway
July 18, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F
Alan Barnes picked us up at 8am for our very packed day. He went over our day with us as we left Dingle. The weather report the night before said terrible, terrible rain for our drive. Alan had even sent me an email the evening before saying he hoped he would be able to see the roads!
Well, it was 58 degrees and a bit overcast, the ground was wet, but not horrible.
As we drove, the skies slowly cleared. We had absolutely perfect weather. The best weather day so far! 70 degrees!
Alan told us about his life in Ireland. His mom was Irish, but he was born in England. They moved back to Ireland in 1964. At that time, the country was very poor. They lived with his grandma and had no electricity, no running water and no flush toilets. Every Friday we would get water bucket by bucket from the village well and walk back to take to fill their water tank. He hated Fridays.
He had many stories to share, explained history of the area, and was a pure joy to be with.Read more
Traveler Beautiful day! Was Alan wearing a tie? Did you walk up to or through the castle(s)?
7/19/23Reply
Traveler He was! Since he is a cab driver, he has to follow the dress code. No, we didn't walk up to tye castles. One was on private property. The other (Lady Gregory's) had a full parking lot, and it was late in the day. We were tired. 10 hours in the car!

Traveler The fresh spring water, cows walking in the middle of the road and the donkeys were such a delight. I enjoyed this day tremendously. Alan was a very informative and fun. He truly loves his country and is proud to talk about it. Very interesting and enjoyable.

Day 26
The Connemarra & Galway
May 28, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Our journey to Galway from Cong was through the magnificent Connemarra National Park, an area of sensational beauty that is rugged and sparsely populated.

Galway, our next destination, is the home of the Claddagh ring, something you buy for a loved one. No one bought me one. But we had an order from Sally, which we successfully completed.

Galway is an ancient seaport and city (pop. 70000) on Galway Bay in the North Atlantic Ocean.

It was crowded on Sunday with large crowds enjoying the sunshine, shops and a day at the markets.

It was then off to Limerick for the night.Read more
Traveler Did you dip your toes in Galway Bay. Apparently that ensures you will return! We did but it hasn't worked yet!!

Traveler No we didn't. Guess we won't be back.

Day 8
Galway city
July 3 in Ireland ⋅ 🌬 17 °C
On our last day in Ireland, we stayed in Galway city, which is considered to be the coolest and hippest city in Ireland. It’s the center of Irish food and music scene. We really went there because it wasn’t too far from Cliffs of Moher and because there were VoiceMap tours available there. We did two VoiceMap tours - one historical and one specifically talking about gastronomy of Galway. We sampled many great small restaurants with local produce and walked around its pretty town center. Then we drove 2.5 hours back to Dublin, stopping on the way at the Tara, a historical hill, 30 min from Dublin. We did a VoiceMap tour there too, walking around a large site of grassy mounds, marking the areas of archeological finds. We also learned about the significance of fairies in the Irish beliefs. That concluded our week-long Irish adventure!Read more
Traveler Wow, yum!

Day 12
13 Merchant Rd Airbnb
July 18, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F
Our airbnb in Galway was in a great location! Easy walking to Eyre Square and The Latin Quarter. Our hostess, Marie, was very sweet. A talker and a hugger. The accommodations were so cute and tastefully decorated. The only thing was there was no common room. Since it was 4 bedrooms, we simply all hung out in one room.
Our breakfast was included. But after the first morning, we declined the next two. Mom and I ate some weird breakfast casserole with peas, corn, spinach, egg and potatoes. It was not for us.
All in all, a great spot!Read more
Traveler Cute location and rooms. Comfortable accommodation. Marie, the host, was nice. I'm sure her breakfast is yummy for locals. She had a pet bird that talked a lot. I could hear him each morning from my window. I saw her cat that she said may come in my window for some cuddles but he never came in.

Day 16
Wet and rainy
September 10, 2019 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
A short drive to Enniskillen Castle had us learning about the infantry on the town throughout history. We found a Game of Thrones door in one of the oldest pubs, Blakes of the Hollow and then drove on to the Marble Arch Caves which were incredible. 3hrs of driving later we arrived in Galway and had a traditional Irish pub meal of stew explored the streets in the rain.Read more
