Our trip to Ireland ... September 2012

Day 9 ... Tuesday, September 25

As usual, we had breakfast at the hotel and then we headed north to County Clare.  We visited Bunratty Castle and took a tour of Bunratty Folk Park, which re-creates Irish life of over 100 years ago.

We then headed to the scenic town of Adaire where we strolled around.  This was acclaimed as the prettiest city in Ireland.  After this, we rode to Galway city where we stayed for two nights at the Imperial Hotel.

The evening was an optional excursion to the Dungaire Castle, a 17th century castle that overlooks Galway Bay.  We were greeted there with a mug of Mead Wine and were entertained by a harpist.  Then we went upstairs to a banquet room where we had a nice meal and were entertained by the harpist and two singers.

These photos were taken at Bunratty Castle, Adaire, Galway and Dungaire Castle.

on to day 10
