Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Three years ago I went to Ireland with the girls - and I fell in love with it immediately! We stayed in Galway and made trips to different places:

Aran Islands

 Even though the weather was a little rough, the wonderful landscape totally made up for it.

Connemara

 

 

Kylemore Abbey

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While at Connemara, we even saw some seals! It was the sunniest day there and we drove around with our little hired car, trying to stay on the left side of the road (which is quite exciting in roundabouts - and there are a lot of roundabouts in this area...).

Cliffs of Moher

Whilst in Galway we stayed at Barnacles hostel on Quay Street. You'll find it in the very heart of Galway, close to all the pubs and shops. The rooms were ok, but growing older I'd probably rather stay in a little b&b the next time. I hope there will be a next time, preferably in March around St. Patrick's Day. I didn't like the parade too much, but the night before was the best, with crowds of people and traditional music in the pubs. By the way, the best way to prepare for such a big night out is a full English breakfast. I wouldn't have expected to like it, but it's yummie - and you'll be full for the rest of the day.
