Connemara - BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT

Today's daytour was to Connemara. The only thing I already knew was that horse breed Connemara comes from there.
When we went in Connemara, they had the magnificent mountains on either side of us. I think it was mostly those who stood out during the tour. It was a very beautiful environment.


The first stop was at Kylemore Abbey. There was a castle that lay in the middle of Connemara. This castle was next to a small lake, which made ​​it look like a fairy tale.


Later we stopped to go for a ride in a fjord. There are a total of two fjords in Ireland. There on the spot waited a boat that would tell you more about the place and, among other things, it was a very good place for mussel farming. So in the water we saw ranks of buoys that thus was the mussel farms.


A little before we met up with the boat, it was a tree that had lots of things on it. Everything from shoes to stuffed animals. People have chosen to hang them in the tree for someone close to them who exepel is sick. By hanging up something that belongs to the sufferer, it should hopefully give him or her strength to get well again.


The last stop was in the town of Galway. We were given 1 hour to walk around and check and I felt during that time that if I go back to Ireland then I'll discover more of Galway because it was a nice town with pavement cafes and small shops along the small streets. The city is right next to the ocean so you can easily take a turn at the water and enjoy the fresh sea air. It is not unusual that there are some festivals and markets there, which I think is fun.
