Day 31
... Hotel. This is the smallest room we have had on tour, but that is to be expected when you get back into a big city. They had a fitness room so I got on the bike and did a bit of cardio. Noone showed any interest in doing anything so Maggie and I headed out to have a wee look around. She was very keen to get a "on tour' tattoo so we scoped out a tattoo parlour and popped in, got an appointment for the next morning at 10:00 then went out for dinner. Moicahel ...
Day 30
... have stayed in yet, monster room, with huge beds and on the ground floor! They even have a well equipped gym, fitness room pool and a spa pool.

The town was spotless and a good candidate for the Tidy Towns competition
with lovely displays of permanent plaques featuring flowers, butterfly's fish and animals.
I must say I was very impressed.

Our Favorite Local
... lunch. The meal is great and atmosphere is very relaxing on the river shoreline.

Oh well, it’s not like we won’t see our fair share of monastic ruins and high crosses. This detour also gives me the challenge to ...
