Today our walk was cancelled due to storm Agnes….the first “named” storm of the season..our area of Ireland would be hit particularly badly, as would the UK. The Washington post featured it. When we woke the wind was bashing the hotel, and rain going sideways!
We packed up our bags and went downstairs for breakfast. After breakfast Sandy and Joanie ventured out 1/2 a block to the museum. It was closed.
A driver would pick up our bags and us at 3pm and take us to our next stop. To kill time we played a few games, solitaire, Farkle, and a game called Golf ( which has nothing to do with golf)
At noon we had a very good soup at our hotel (Ostan Ceann Sibeal) . Another impossible to pronounce Irish name.
A very jolly Irish man came to collect us. He was difficult to understand as well, but we got the gist of it. We should have been hiking some cliffs today. Due to the weather, it wouldn’t be safe. So instead of a 5 hour hike we had less than an hour in a taxi!
Tonight we are Cuas in the guest house An BothAr. It is a small guest house with a pub and they serve food……not every night, but they were tonight. Joanie chose the best meal….crab legs! The rest of us chose med rare roast beef……yep it was nowhere near rare and tough to chew. 😓. We enjoy our own company and there were not many in the place. We eventually retired upstairs to a lounge, made tea and played a few rounds of Golf! Look it up on line it is a fun game all you need is a deck of cards.
I think all four of us had a FaceTime conversation with family back home.
Not sure what tomorrow will bring…..it will depend on the weather!
No guiness consumed on Wednesday??
