Achill Feb 08

Fri. After a 6.5hr drive from Cork to the far west of Ireland we realize that Mr T left the luggage at home and brought the wrong bag, a few beers and we rest for the weekend ahead.

Sat. We awake to a gusty, dull, wet day but make the most of our Irish weather. We visit some of the Island and drive around the Atlantic Drive and head to Castlebar to buy some clothes for the rest of the weekend.
Sat 23rd

On our return we hit the bottle in preparation for the Rugby. We watch the game in a local bar called THE PUB, where the smoking ban has yet to be enforced. Then its on for food and an interesting night with some Boston alcoholics ;).
Sat 23rd

Sun. Today is like a different world, bright blue skies and lovely warm breeze. We head around the Island, take a few snaps have a bite to eat while listening to Nemo get into the All Ireland Club Football final and head home.

Honeymoon Apr 07

So we were really unwell for the first 2 days. like we got to the hotel and slept, woke and then slept again. Bundoran could be lovely it could be shite, who knows?

After that we had a great time.
Donegal is stunning, literally awe inspiring stunning. I cannot remember the names of anywhere we were because Terry was driver and navigator.

Sligo is also very beautiful and we were full of plans but I was sick by the time we got there. I did get to have a seaweed bath and we watched some surfers. But other than that terry spent much time in the cinema.

Galway was pretty much the same 'cept for the market, which I love. the present of their fab curry the Donagh and Dee gave us and the Tom Waits cover band we saw.
Crohns can be a pain. terry like the Galway Eye cinema.

I still really enjoyed it and we saw lots of places we will go back to.
we are going on our planned honeymoon in August of 2008 and I will be better.
