Tuesday June 1st, 2011: Athenry

After the Aran Islands we hoped in the car to see The Cliffs of Morh. Only when we got there, it was foggy cloudy, rainy and cost 5 euro each. So we took a pass since we wouldn’t be able to see anything.

On our way to Sligo via Athenry The drive took us through the Burren, which was very pretty but not picturesque because of the weather. We arrived 15 min. too late to see the Athenry Castle and Friary. So we walked around a bit and let the kids play in the playground while we took turns peaking into the Domenic Friary. Finally to the hotel in Sligo. The Clarion was a beautiful hotel in an old castle looking building. I will have to learn more about it tomorrow morning.
