We caught the ferry from Fishguard to Rosslare and drove to Galway.

We wanted to spend a day on the Burren, but the weather was so poor most of it was in the clouds and rain.

After 2 nights on Galway campus we drove through magnificent scenery to reach our destination of Keel on Achill.

The area is really beautiful, very quiet when we were there, just mountains and sea.
