 net@ccess by sue_stone
We popped into net@ccess and spent some down time checking emails and catching up on VT gossip.
Computers worked well and it wasn't too expensive.
It got a little embarrasing as we were leaving though.....as seen in this photo, my mother-in-law wanted to take off with someones bike!! Leave a Comment

 meet the irish. by cachaseiro
they seem to have all the time that noone has anymore.
they are also very tolerant towards people who like to have a drink too many.
i really liked chatting to the local drunks when i was there and i never found that other people were giving them bad looks like people often do back in denmark.
long live the irish.
both the drunk and the sober. Leave a Comment

 Connemara by globetrott
THIS used to be a sentence, when someone was found guilty of a crime in the times of Oliver Cromwell, and so the prisoner could choose between a life in a prison-cell or to be deported to "Connacht" , the area of the Connemara of today .
"hell" was the expression for the prison - and it was a very strict and severe prison at that time of Oliver Cromwell, BUT a life in the Connemara was obviously considdered even worse :
There was almost no place at all, where wheat, potatoes or vegetables would grow, the soil was salty and spread with giant stones... Leave a Comment

All over Ireland, and particularly here, you find ancient graveyards where the feeling of antiquity and solemnity pervades. I did not check the dates on the graves but this one has been there a long time and symbolizes its link with a revered past. Leave a Comment

especially the area around clifden is good.
from clifden take the sky road and continue out to the atlantic ocean and you will get some great views. Leave a Comment

 sheeps in the castle. by cachaseiro
you see them everywhere and when you are from a country like me where they are not that common, they are quite an attraction in themselves. Leave a Comment

 a corner of galways
city/town by call_me_rhia
the rain - the endless soft rain - and many visits to several friends.
One particular memory, back from my students days, is rag-week in galway: back then it was really over-the-top. Leave a Comment

 clifden, connemara by call_me_rhia
short hikes in connemara national park, and relaxing on some of the area's coral beaches: however the sea was far too cold for swimming. Leave a Comment

 dun aengus fort on inishmore by call_me_rhia
Ferries (island ferries) leave from Rossaveal. Phone: 091 568 903
Cycling around Inishmore and meeting some locals which, by coincidence, used to be my Dublin flatmates friends. A great mad party followed Leave a Comment

 a view from the ocean road by call_me_rhia
driving along the ocean road in the burren - impressive - or else following the really narrow military road: even more unreal. Leave a Comment
