A cracking full Irish (English) breakfast was cooked by Pierce. Stefan Justin & I having secured fresh bacon, black pudding & hash browns from the butchers. During breakfast at 14:00 I realised I didn't wish to sit in the car at all that day. The Americans set off to explore the cliffs of Mohr located an hour & a half south of Galway. Until the returned at 21:00 I alternated between the various sofas & bed. Upon their return Stefan, Justin &...

Using jumpers for goal posts we played doubles football. The ball we had purchased was slightly deflated which was useful as we all played barefoot.

Thankfully the weather was nice & there was a huge hard shoulder. By the time I returned to the house I was feel...

Before returning to the house we stocked up on supplies in Aldi. We walked 30mins to today's sightseeing adventure, a cruise on the Corrib Princess. This hour & a half cruise took us up the Corrib river & out into loch Corrib. For the first time since we arrived the sun had com...
