What the Cong?!
I've been to to Paris, London, Prague and Vienna. To this illustrious list I can now add Cong. We're not sure why we are staying in Cong but it seems analogous to medieval torture. Even all the Irish people we met last night were bewildered why we would bother coming here, and we are still none the wiser this evening as we sit freezing in this hostel from hell.

Grateful for the recommendation,
