We started our penultimate day of our tour of Ireland. Tonight we slept great! The heating and hot water circuit worked better than the previous days and we almost had heat compared to the nights before… I’m not sure what we did, maybe we started the heater earlier, or it was warmer tonight.
After our breakfast in the campervan, we set off from the Westport House camp site, in the direction of Galway. Our trip was smooth, we had to drive slowly like the rest of our trip on Irish roads, but everything was OK. We arrived in Galway at about 1 pm and we looked for our new camping site, just outside of the town. We arrived so soon because we needed to refill the water tank, it was dry!
After filling the tank, I prepared our meal, a tasty pasta salad! After our lunch, Maria needed to take a nap to rest, so I went for a walk with the girls.
We took the opportunity to look for another Geocache nearby. We found it soon, it was really small, hidden behind a signal, and we got back to the camp site walking along the beach.
We arrived to the campervan and Maria had already woken up. The friendly owner of the camp site suggested us to go to the city center by bus, because the traffic is awful and parking a campervan is really difficult there. And we realized that the man was right as soon as we got on the bus.
We got off the bus at the end of the line at Eyre Park, and took a walk through the medieval quarter of the city. This is a very nice and lively neighborhood. We visited some shops on the Store Street to buy some souvenirs. Olivia always finds something she likes and Blanca always struggles to decide for something. Oh and Maria chose a magnet for our fridge, this is a tradition on our family…
After the walk, we started to get tired, but we realized there is another Geocache nearby so we decided to look for it. This one is more difficult than the others because the hints in the app were badly set. But we managed to find it! After signing the guestbook, we went back to the center for a drink and to have dinner. But all the bars on the Store Street were too crowded, so we resorted to Eyre Park. There we got into a pub where we had a great Irish dinner. Maria had a hamburger, the kids chose fish’n chips and I chosed pork loin. Everything was really tasty. Something funny happened, the hamburger included a pint of beer and the lady at the next table ordered a hamburger too, and since she didn’t want the beer, she gave it to us.
And it was time to get back to our campervan. The bus seemed to have just passed 10 minutes before, so we chose to take a taxi to avoid a 50 minutes wait. The cab driver was very friendly and he was willing to talk, so we practiced our English a bit hahaha
And this was all our day, we went to have some rest, because we still had to drive more than 3 hours to arrive Dublin.
