After lunch it we did the Slea Head drive. A road that , in places clings to the side of the cliff,with a roadside wall separating the road from a long drop to the Atlantic Ocean below

Still on the Dingle Peninsula we continued on to the Conor Pass and another great bit of road with views to match

So, after some great roads it was time to progress North. We made a beeline for the ferry across the Shannon Estuary at Tarbet. Whilst waiting for the ferry we found a B&B for the night a few miles west along the coast from Galway City.

We arrived at the B&B just before dark, and after booking in the owner gave us a lift into the local village for a bite to eat and a couple of drinks. The owner of the B&B collected us later and brought us back - a great service, that was offered and not asked for.

Tuesday 31st & anther warm, rain free cloudy day

We continued west along the Galway coast The a coffee stop in Clifden

This parked up beside us. Looked and sounded great for a 50 year old motor

Continued west along the Sky Road

Came across Omey Island - tide was out -so popped over to have a look

Next stop along the coast was Leeaun - been here before - a beautiful place to stop, take in the views over lunch.

So shortly leaving Leeaun I spotted a possible fishing spot so thought I would give it a go. On my third cast I caught and landed a 5lb Salmon! - just when I thought this trip could not get any better.

My Salmon handling skills need to be improved though! Safely returned to continue on its epic journey

Continued on the R335 and another stop at the beautiful Doo Lough
