Breakfast at our overnight B&B in Manorhamilton
Open Mic Night, Bía Sláinte, Manorhamilton, Ireland - 17th August 2019
We finally make it to Manorhamilton, or Cluainín, roughly a week since the ferry from Holyhead. When we get there, the first mission is to figure out where Philly and Davida actually are, and then to find somewhere to stay, as our place in the W8 complex isn't ready until the next day. After a fraught couple of hours, Isobel scores a couple of rooms in a local B&B. The next day, after we're set up in our actual house/apartment for the week, we visit the castle café and then an art exhibition at the Leitrim Sculpture Centre. Then, there's an open mic night at a nearby café, so Fred gets his flute and Irish piccolo out and does a session.
