Our flight landed in Ireland in the early morning. Then we drove from Shannon to Galway, got a room at a B&B, and slept for a couple hours (we were both really tired from the plane flight). After that we were planning on driving to Kylemore Abbey and the Connemara National Park, but we got lost and ended up in Clifden instead. We stopped into a pub and decided what to do next; since time was running low, we decided to see what was in Clifden instead of driving further. This was a good idea, Clifden was a pretty town. It was a cloudy day and it drizzled some but it never really rained.
