I felt sure walking on the street at night about 2 in the morning. No problems about pickpocket. Police patrol walking on the street any time.

A Glum Estonian

by Catspjm

Please be aware that normally cheerful Estonians can been seen standing around the streets looking miserable.
This may have something to do with the recent arrival of their parents I am told.
It is probably unwise to approach them.

The burren is full of wildflowers, many of which are rare and can only be found in this part of Ireland. The wild flowers are protected and it is illegal to pick them or disturbed them.

The limestone pavement on the Burren. Many people who visit Dolmans or Portal Tomes like to build mini Dolmans/Tombs on the limestone pavement, this is illegal and many schoolchildren spend their time dismantling them. The limestone pavement is protected and visitors should refrain from taking bits home as souveniers or buying artifacts made from the limestone. I personally think the mini dolmans look stupid and pathetic and ruin the historic sites.

The roads. Ireland only has small roads, some not much more than country lanes, however the local population are completely mad when placed behind a wheel of a car and drive like maniacs. Believe me it can be quite scarey at times and there are not many passing points on the smaller roads, so when you see a great big lorry hurtling towards you on a hairpin bend, remember the guy behind the wheel is totally mad. Please do take great care when driving in Ireland. You also may come across some very strange sights such as this guy on a bike covered in tin foil. Why? I have no idea!!!!!!

by greebo

There are many castles and ruins dotted around the Burren, however not all are accessible due to many are on private land and the farmers do not like the public trespassing on their land due to insurance liabilities or the castle may now be privately owned and the owners do not like people visiting their home.

by Nobbe

Driving in Galway can be tricky. A lot of 'one-way' streets everywhere. Stopped our car in the city centre, and from there tried to find out exactly where we was on a small map. Not that easy, but sooner or later we found out that we had found Eyre Square.

	Galway is such a busy place... Tip Rating:

By Anisha1 on August 24, 2002

Galway Page by Anisha1

Galway is such a busy place that I stress the need to book hotels and restaurants before arrival. Also when you enter the hotel, book your dining time for evening meals and breakfasts as some have two sittings and you may end up having a very late breakfast as the first sitting has been entirely booked. It has happened me before!
