Sunday 29th - the end is nigh!

Waking up on Sunday fearful after the night before of a hangover which gladly never came we packed up and headed off to Kilfenora in the direction of a certain house which was used for the filming of Father Ted! We had been told that there was a tourist office nearby that could point us in the right direction and off we went in search!

We only had a short period of time to get some pictures and the directions we were given were perfect although in some places, it really felt like we'd left the road and jumped onto a off road track! Onwards we carried on and eventually came across the house!



After taking some very quick snaps we turned back to head the way we'd come to get on the road back to Galway to find the motorway to Dublin!

Google maps, in general on English roads is fine. But experience throughout the week just gone had told us that whatever it says, add at least an hour as the roads had been so poor. Sure enough, we made a very quick journey off towards the capital and arrived shortaly before 3pm, 40 minutes later than google had predicted and this was not travelling slowly either! The toll roads, although boring, were a pleasure to ride on after having endured roads bumpier than I'd ever experienced before for the last 5 days. We jumped on the ferry and made our way back to Wales.
