We left the hotel before breakfast so we could get a start on our big day of driving. We stopped at the Hill of Tara. That was quite interesting, however the actual hill itself was not all that spectacular. By the time we had breakfast at a road house somewhere along the way, we were all rather hungry! We stopped and had a look around Galway – a very nice town. We saw the Spanish Arch, and looked through the town. We had a nice lunch at a pub just outside of Galway with views of the Atlantic Ocean. We had an afternoon hot chocolate and coffee at a cafe that reminded us somewhat of Fran’s Cafe, that we went to in the Northern Territory one time. We had dinner in a seafood place in Cleggan!
On top of The Hill of Tara, seat of the ancient Irish Kings.
This is called the Stone of Destiny said to be the inauguration place of the high kings of Ireland.
Gaelic is the first language in this part of Ireland.
Scenery along the way was lovely, lots off water below and above, it rained all day!
Aisling Cottage in Cleggan where we stayed.

Good to hear about your last few days. Hope you continue to enjoy that beutiful Irish country side. Will you get to Whitegate? If so you should ask about the McGowan family – our relatives on the Joyce side.
You are missing so much rain – today we received more rain than all of June in just 24 hours.
It all looks fantastic as usual, the cottage, you stayed in at Cleggan, looked great. I am so glad that you are all having a fantastic time. Looking forward to next venture. LOL xxxx
So the hill of Tara was not so spectacular. Luckily, Tara the person is! A cafe that reminded you of Fran’s. I won’t be asking for the name of that one! I must say, I’m very impressed with your photos and journalling – all great.
