Headed back to Galway and found the old town with a myriad of laneways and shops and sensational buskers. It was really busy and had a really nice vibe.
Another 'to do' on our list was to look at the Claddagh rings. Traditionally they are a sort of friendship ring, but they also indicate a persons 'availability'. They have a crown protruding on one side of the band. If it is worn with the crown facing up (towards the one's heart) then the person is spoken for. If worn with the crown facing down, then that person is single.
The design on the band is two hands holding a heart and can be bought as wedding rings - no protruding crown. We stopped at the Claddagh jeweller and ordered lovely new wedding rings in the Claddagh style.
Had lunch then off to Doolin.Læs mere
