Back In Galway
Sunday 10 April - We had a horrible night's sleep in our hotel in Galway due to the very noisy pub below us which kept us up till after 2am and then some very noisy drunk lads in the rooms around ours who kept shouting to each other and slamming doors between 5.00 and 7.30 in the morning. We finally got out of bed from our fitful sleep around 8.30 had breakfast and decided to take a walk around the city. Amazingly not much seems to have changed on on the high street, most of the same pubs are there and most of the same shops. Unfortunately nearly everything was closed until later in the day. After the high street we walked around the Quay then along the river, which was higher than I had ever seen it and all the way to the Cathedral and then on to the my old campus. It brought back a lot of memories of when I lived in Galway. The city seems much smaller than I remember, probably because Bristol is a much larger city. After our walk we decided to check out of the hotel, even thought we had originally booked for two nights; we would take our chances trying to find a B&B. And then we were on our way out into the scenic countryside of the Connemara.
