It had to happen - a day of rain

Woke up to rain this morning - but it was little more than a drizzle all day. Continued in Galway Co. travelling the coast road to The Connemara - a scenic landscape of granite rock and endless sea inlets. We enjoyed the slower drive today because of the rain and could only imagine what it would have looked like in better conditions. Gary even went for a swim - at 9 degrees - he thought it would be his last chance as we are only going north. It was his first swim in the North Atlantic Ocean - mad if you ask me - particularly as he is getting over a nasty cold, as am I.  Tonight we are staying on the Corraun Peninsula in the little seaside village of Achill Sound.

Our home for tonight in Achill Sound
