Galway to Dublin......







We departed this morning for a smooth ride to Dublin. We stopped at Clonmacnoise Monastery for a tour of the oldest ruins and it is believed the oldest book written in the world. The tour guide gave us a detailed run down of the history. We then rode on to Athlone for lunch. We lunched next to Athlone Castle and rushed down the road to see the oldest pub in Ireland only to find it was shut today. We then road on to Dublin and once again the gods were kind to us as we arrived safe and dry to our motel. The tartan award tonight went to Gerard for adjust the bolts on his head only to find in the end that it was some one elses bike.

  1. Sounds like everyone is enjoying the trip.
    The Blog reports are great.
    The photos on Cork look good on their web site - particularyl if "Hanna" looks after the children - that "Toni" girl looks like a hand full.

    Keep having a great trip
