This weekend Marty and I went on a wee road trip to Doolin, County Clare.
As we left county Antrim it had been pashin down in Cullybecky, hey!
But the weather improved the further south we travelled ;D
Sore hole break in Cavan ;D
He just can't resist adopting things
A fine location for a spot of lunch.
Dunguaire Castle
When we got to Doolin we were lucky to get the last 2 beds at the hostel, although there is 4 hostels, numerous B&Bs and a couple hotels in the village, so I don't think we would have been without a bed for the night ;D
We had to sit at this junction a while to work out where we were going
The view from the hostel in Doolin
The hostel also has a small paddock for camping
The village has a number of bars which usually have some diddley dee music at the weekends. We settled in Mc Dermotts for most of the night sampling the Guinness and cider ;D
A photo of the hostel when returning from the pub
We wake up bright and early to find the cars covered in frost
But by the time we had breakfast the frost had disappeared and it turned into a lovely sunny day
A daytime view
A look around Doolin harbour
Marty thinks it's going to rain
A smashin weekend, the hostel was very good, with very friendly helpful staff. The scenery was breath taking and most of the roads were crackin, with very little traffic
