Galway (Tom)

August 22. Today we left Dublin for Newgrange and Galway. I managed to get the car alright but is strange being on the wrong side of road. The hardest part is judging distance on the left I hit more than one curb. Really scarey on narrow roads trees on the left big trucks on the right!

We eventually got the hang of things and drove into Galway listening to the Raisins (ipod broadcasted thru the radio).

Newgrange was cool. It was impressive to standing in a 6000 year old tomb from the later stone age. Quite a magical place.

Our hostel is OK but quite expensive for what it is. The place in Dublin (Maldron) was cheaper and had its own bath, big breakfast, TV, etc. The Kinlay Hostel, two beds in a meager room, common shower toilet, contental breakfast. The crowds are different however Kinlay young people; Maldron families.

Had a good nite out last nigth: Chinese food (we were both missing vegies) and a couple of pubs. Matt tells me that he has already said a word about “Tony” and our adventures so I won't recap. Today on to Clifden.
