Some Odds & Ends

CONG

The B&B in Cong was wonderful and our hostess very attentive. The B&B was at the end of a twisting road and very secluded. The view from the place was beathtaking

GALWAY

Never try to drive through Galway at rush hour. We tried to get downtown to an Internet cafe so we could contact the next B&B to make sure we had a place to stay. W tried unsuccessfully to 'steal' access but could never stop when we found and unprotected modem. It actually worked out since the place we had planned to stay turned out to be a dump at a crossroads nowhere near town of Doolin as we drove in.

DOOLIN

After a very diificult drive and the hassle of Galway, our driver was frazzeled and twitchy. Plus it was getting dark. Having passed on or first choice to a B&B we found our second chioce after stopping for directions. We knocked on the door and hung on the bell but no answer. Nobusiness for this guy. Now we had no place to stay and it was almost dark. We drove down the main road in town and tried to look up each B&B we saw 9n the book to no avail. We pulled into one with the corredct sign and asked if they took vouchers since they werem't in the book. They did but inly in the low season, thus not in the book. The place was great and just 60 yards from the reasturant. Larry finally had his Fish & Chips he wanted and I found my roast lamb.  Mmmmmm Lamb!
Breakfast was great. french taost for me and a nice mushroom and cheese omlett for Larry. In the low season these places are quite accomodatng.
