After our evening in the pub we all had a good night's sleep, with the hostel surprisingly quiet. We had a light breakfast, packed up and rousted out the manager to pay for the rather hippie dippy hostel. We were excited to get going as we were headed to Limerick to stay with friends from …

Inishmaan & the Cliffs of Moher
We all had a wonderful restful night enjoying the comforts of the B and B. Breakfast was delicious, made even better because Alison catered to each of us, the vegan, the vegetarian and the carnivore. Kevin got to max out his meat consumption. After eating our fill we loaded up our packs and headed down …
The Aran Islands with the Happy Hooker
After a noisy night at the hostel, we woke early to get a head start on using the kitchen. Our plan worked as we were the only ones up and cooking. With breakfast done and lunches made we headed off for today's adventures. We drove along the coast to a small town called Doolin, where …
The Green Team
We all had a great night's sleep at the house, waking to make a nice breakfast, lunch and packed up the car. We headed north out of Tobercurry. We aimed first for the town of Foxford to see the woolen mill. I thought it would provide a good juxtaposition to all the handweaving. Unfortunately, the …
The Neolithic Way
We began the day a mite earlier to get a head start. Up before the hostel crowd got to the kitchen, so we had the place to ourselves making breakfast and preparing our lunch for the road. Packed up we headed off toward Donegal town. We reached there rather quickly, considering we weren't on the …
Slieve League
It was a sleep in sort of morning. While the kids still slept I went down to the hostel kitchen for some coffee. There I met two middle aged brothers cycling parts of the Wild Atlantic Way. Not an easy thing to do considering there are no shoulders on the roads, the roads as I've …
The Start of the Wild Atlantic Way
We woke a bit late this morning as Mandy didn't feel the alarm she had set on vibrate. Not an issue. We got dressed and ready in no time and went to the hostel kitchen for breakfast. It was a lively place with most residents already there chowing down. We packed up the car and …
Back to the Republic
We woke before our alarm, so took our time getting ready to head downstairs for breakfast. We ate in the little sunroom, with the weather appearing fair to middling. Good enough. As a number of the Irish mentioned, as long as it is not raining, it's good enough. Works for us. We left the Causeway …
The Causeway Coastal Route
We rose this morning, had a quick breakfast then walked down to the Carnlough harbor. It was yet another film location, for which I'm now calling GoT, as I'm beginning to tire of writing it out. Supposedly Arya came up the harbor steps out of the water there. That done we closed up the house …
Winterfell
This morning we got up in sufficient time to reach Castle Ward outside of Downpatrick, to meet our booked Game of Thrones event. We packed up and cleaned up the house, locking the door and dropping the key into the mail slot. We drove out of Newcastle and found our way to Downpatrick and out …
