The Irish weather sets in and the tourists hide away in their B&Bs - my love affair with Ireland is rekindled - away – away – away from Galway –“ have you ever been across the sea to Galway” – yes – I will return one day in the depths of winter to enjoy the solitude of the Connemara but to do so I will need to find my way even deeper into the back country..
Towards the Cliffs of Moher – past picturesque Irish country side – narrow roads – the small villages – road side stalls – multi-colours painted houses of the villages - stone fences enclosing white painted farm houses – not the Connemara so the new houses don’t clash with visualisation of how the country side should be
The Cliffs of Moher – a waste of time – I look forward to wandering the sea cliffs around Baltimore.
Lovely morning – stop for lunch at a pub and high tail it to Limerick – taxi driver says the population is around 90,000 with almost 10,000 directly or indirectly employed by Dell Computer..
We dine at the Texan Steak House – not exactly Irish food – delightful – on the way home – Graeme to taxi driver – “lend me your wallet so I can continue my travels” – Taxi Driver - “you’re welcome to it – unfortunately for you my wife goes with it!”
