Thanks for the great tips, we are going in Sept and will definately visit a lot of the countryside and less of the towns ;-)

Haha, I agree with Irish pubs, they are indeed fantastic! And I agree too that "seeing the towns in ireland is a big crime". I am not a criminal and hardly visited any big town!

Thanks for the memories, we found Galway to be the nicest part of Ireland, a beautiful countryside and nice city.

Loved Co. Galway. . although it looks like we missed out on some good hikes! We drove through Clifden and skipped the sun road - have to do it next time!

Yes, the pubs are indeed great. I picked up a Guiness stumble while there.

Sounds like you were really at home in Galway and your pictures are great. Yeh, it's a great place for drinking alright but I'm glad you included the sober as well as the drunk in your blessing. :))

What a great overview of County Galway. You captured the ambience of Ireland with your witty narrative and beautiful photos.
