Day 11 - Omagh to Connemara
... a Geocache at Enniskillen Castle however it appears the cache had gone missing :(
As we hit the area of Mayo, there were flags with green and red flying everywhere as the final of the All Ireland Football was on the coming weekend and Mayo had made the final.
As we reached Connemara, we drove past a cemetery that was located in a spectacular location with a stunning view.
We drove up to the turn off to Kylemore Abbey we decided to check it out. The place ...
