Day 41 - OUGHTERARD TO DUBLIN


Well up and at breaky early today as wanted a good start for the crossing of Ireland.
We stopped just out of Oughterard at Aughnanure Castle then moved on to Brigit’s Gardens about 10mins away from the castle.




These gardens are arranged in a Celtic fashion with the four seasons centered around a thatched Roundhouse. Here we were just in time to join the meditation session. Unfortunately, we did not have the time to sit around and hum so we hummed as we quickly walked around the gardens instead.

We then decided to take some of the back roads before getting on the motorway to Dublin. We headed up around Lough Corrib, which by the way, is the biggest lough in Ireland (the reason I know this is it shows me on the map!). It was good not to just hit the motorway straight away as there is not much to see when travelling at 120kph on a dead straight road – hard not to fall asleep.

 Well, the rest of the trip to Dublin was pretty boring on the motorway. When we hit Dublin they don’t have the names of the streets or turn-offs, so you have to guess and by the way it can be a little stressful (I have medicated Kim and put her to bed!). See you tomorrow I’m knackered and need medicating too!
