This picture unfortunately doesnt correspond to Westport at all but I dont have a photo and Ithought this one was really nice. so there we go.... Anyway, we arrived in Westport today. Not a huge amount going on here so we all decided to go to the cinema to see Pirates of the Carribean....must say I was hugely disappointed.
