A Connemara Climb


Our drive brought us out on the road near our B&B we rejoined the main road then made a stop at fantastic little shop, Avoca where I found lots of goodies. We managed to miss another passing shower by stopping at the shop and it was once again spectacularly sunny when we left. We drove to the Connemara National Park where we adventured along the Diamond Hill path to the top of a Ben with views of the famous 12 Bens. Although it was very sunny when we started out we could see an oncoming storm. It hit as we approached the summit and hailed upon us. Luckily, though it subdued fairly quickly and we got some stunning views at the top. We skipped and sped down the path, pack to the visitor centre, to be quickly on our way. We returned to the car and went to the Kylemore Abbey for a quick lunch before beginning the drive to Dublin and our flight home.
