Galway

---

The drive across Ireland was not looking promising, it’s not ugly but it’s no where near as pretty as England and Wales have been, Galway though has redeemed my spirits. It’s gorgeous; it has a lively (and touristy) lane down the middle of town with quaint streets and shops running off it. Our hostel’s in this lane with bars and restaurants all around, busker’s playing music downstairs. And people are speaking Irish (and English with a few other languages as well). Now I’m happy.

You can't see the fisherman in the background but it is a working fishing town

Our Hostel window
The perfect place to have cheap afternoon drinks overlooking Quay Street. We even have buskers playing live music. How good is this!

Dinner at the pub
Affordable...except for the wine...drinking lightly
