Kilkee to Galway, West Coast, Ireland - 22nd September 2007
Following the party in Kilkee, and the wander around the cliffs, Nosher and Isobel leave the group and head off up the coast to Galway. There's no particular plan as such, so it's a bit of an amble. On the way, we manage to spot a derelict petrol station, get windswept on the beach at Lahinch and then just catch the last tour of the day in Aillwee caves. We fetch up in Galway later that day, and bagsy a room at the Jury's Inn before heading into the rainy town for a spot of fish 'n' chips, Guiness, Jameson & "red" and some live trad music in a back-street bar.

"The Man" has gone a bit mad with warning signs at Lahinch: no dressage, no riding motorbikes on cars, no tipping out the office shredder. |
