Galway and the Cliffs of Moher.

A city that has the central bus station in the middle of town is good, in the heart, next to the city square, easy to find if lost.

Fun fact, although it has signs calling it Eyre Square its actually called Kennedy square after the US president JFK because it was his last international tour and did a famous speech in the square, before he was assassinated a few months later.
Anyways...

A city that uses its square with a Christmas fare, complete with many stands, few rides and a massive ferris wheel, is pretty good.

But a city that has all that and history, it has a stand for hot chocolates with baileys or whiskey mixed in with marshmallows, all for a lowish price on a cold winter day, A welcoming city it is.

And thats Galway, a welcoming city to all, with fun facts, history and the music capital of Ireland, its also got 4 different hospitals and thanks to our tour guide for the day, 2 of which are public and dont have to pay more the a few hundred euro maximum, if you had any problems or accidents. Just another fun fact.

Glaway is a lovely place to visit, noone sings that song that Ed made, its clean, close together, everything is based around the square, the shopping mall even has a tower and wall inside the place, though one thing it has and NEVER seen before, is a toll for the toilets, 20cents! I get outside public ones but inside a shopping mall, just crazy, glad i have a wallet full of 20 cent coins.

Other then that, pubs, the first pub we went to call Au Pucan, is a friendly, warm place to go and the bartenders and locals like to get to know you if you drink a pint of Guinness. Or just interesting and not a .... problem. It even had a live 'like' counter which we tested a few times just to watch the counter flick through all the numbers, so how thats fun, and yes it does go down when you unlike it, so they know.

Also in the bar gave me some cool ideas if i was to ever open a bar, nice layout, lighting and the cool whiskey wall along the main wall from Jameson to some very expensive stuff.

A must see and glad we do go, is the Cliffs of Moher, at first it seemed like we wouldn't be able to see any of it at all, but as we got there, the mist that covered most of the way started to clear up and yes it would probably be best to see them in the summer clear days, but if you were to see them today, the mist of it all really added to the dramatic scenery that it was, and you're able to walk along a few kms of the cliff and really see how huge they are, i couldn't get enough photos of them.

It is a few kms away, think about 70kms, but it is worth the trip to see them, and the epic landscapes along the way.

On the way back stopped off at a small chocolate factory that has the third world best, over 80% chocolate something a rather, but yes it was yummy as to sample, expensive as to buy. As we continued on back, i ended up singing along to Journey, dont stop believing on our bus ride back to town, because the driver asked one of the girls to sing it, and why not join in singing if you know the words, made for a nice drive back.

And Just for the harry potter fans, these are the same cliffs filmed for the 6th? Movie the half blood prince.

And for the Lord of the rings fans, they have a couple of flame signal towers that were used to warn the irish and British forces of a french attack during the napoleon war.

Tomorrow we leave this amazing city, and the Republic of Ireland, but not before checking out its nightlife, before we head to Northern Ireland UK , and city of Belfast.

Bye for now and take care.
