Wednesday as ever has long been associated as sports day. Keeping to this tradition we had a light breakfast of cereal, before heading to the sports field across the road. 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. Havens seemed to master keeping the light ball on the ground better than others. Some fun games took place. The only injury being a dislocated fin...

I stared the day with a 5K run round the track next to the house. Followed by a spell on the outdoor gym equipment. I returned to find Snook had made breakfast. Potatoes, eggs & sausages. We set off to county Mayo for today's adventure, climbing a Croagh Patrick. This 732metre mountain is often climbed by pilgrims barefoot. I can't imagine having to do that as I soon discovered large section of the climb are just loose stones. The climb was exhausting, at tim...

Having been joined by Snook through the night, all five of us headed off in the car to go see an abbey. However 20 minutes into the journey I stared to feel unwell & had to get out. I told the guys to continue on & I would walk back. The walk back proved to be much longer than I had anticipated. I walked down the motorway for just over 10k. Thankfully the weather was nice & there was a huge hard shoulder. By the time I returned to the house I was feel...

Sunday was Stefan's birthday, & following a breakfast of bacon & eggs we headed to the beach. We walked along the promenade at Salthill & located the mini golf course. 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...

A couple of sausage sandwiches from Greggs & I was ready to set off. I got to the airport for 10:00am, only to find the flight delayed when we go to the gate. The forty minute delay ensured I would miss my scheduled bus in Dublin. I spent the time at the airport having my first Guinness on its native soil. The coach itself was very comfy, & came with plug sockets, water, & wi fi. Still feeling tired from yesterday's big move & drinks after I mana...
