Wicked Campers Ireland - Galway

The only task for Sunday was to get to Galway to meet up with Jimmy in preparation for St Patricks day on Monday, and without too many complications we managed to get that done.

We pulled into Galway, via the coastal route from Sligo, in the afternoon and found the Information centre in the middle of the town. Jimmy wandered down to the pub and led us around the corner to what would be our home for the next 2 days.

We met Sarah from Australia, and Anthony from Ireland, and quickly decided that we could do a lot of catching up at the pub.

We headed through Galway city and Jimmy gave us a quick run down of the place.

This is where JFK made a speach.
That is the longest line for an ATM in Ireland
This is Taafees our local, it does a good pint of guinness
This is Super Mac's, it has 2000 people trying to get in and 2000 people trying to get out every friday and saturday night
This is the Kings Head, it's where we go after Taafees, it does a good pint of Guinness
This is the Dew Drop, it's where we go after Taafees, it does a good pint of Guinness
This is the Front Door, it's where we go after Taafees, it does a good pint of Guinness
This is the Rosin Dub, it's where we go after Taafees, it does a good pint of Guinness

And so we went to Taafee's and had a pint of guinness, and it does indeed to a good pint. But was it a fluke? Did we happen to luck out and get a really good pint? I decided to put it to the test. We had another 3 pints of guinness and each of them were as good as the first. Time to test part two of the tour........... and so we did to each of the pubs listed above.

The night finished with everyone relatively HAMMERED!!!!

The next morning was St Patrick's Day.

Gary, Kita and Dani settle in for the evening

Jimmy Newman and I catch up for a few beers in Galway
