Enniskillen caves & Galway fringe

Was glad to leave the lake campsite, there was a lot of mossies there but it was nice to wake up to a lake view.

Off we went to make our way to the Enniskillen caves, they were very interesting and even had a boat to take through parts of the cave system.  Rebecca made sure she got to sit at the front of the boat, it was kind of eerie and at some points the water level was only a couple feet deep.

After the caves, we made our way on to Galway.  We were a bit worried as this was the only place which didn’t reserve a spot for us. It was first come first served basis and only accepted cash. We made it on time to get a spot and set up. Instead of driving in to Galway, we decided to all cycle in to town which was lovely (albeit a little hairy on the roads).

Galway was a really lively place and lots of bars and restaurants, the arts festival was on which was equivalent to the Edinburgh fringe (which was the next stop for most artists). We settled on a fish and chip place for dinner which had a restaurant section.  Rebecca wanted seafood and the platter we ordered was amazing – it had king prawns, scallops, mussels, calamari and fish. It seems our kids have expensive taste and enjoy seafood immensely especially crab claws.

We stopped off in a pub after dinner in which we only had a swift one as the children started to get tired and we had to cycle back to the campsite.  We made it back on the bikes safely and we were pretty much ready for bed 🙂
