Watch towers

13th Sep - turning East
The next day the crows were definitely flying backwards - and the seagulls only occasional forward progress. It was raining harder than ever so the Arran Islands were not really an option. We decided to check out Galway but hit a major traffic jam on the way in and did a U-Turn out of there.

So instead we visited a couple more castles (probably more correctly described a Norman watch towers).
They were very well maintained and I particularly liked the hard wood staircases made with pegs and wedges - no nails. See picture below.

A kind lady gave Betty large golfing type umbrella (we eventually gave it to the Hertz man). The same lady directed us to the nice little pub for lunch.

I had the Euro 10.50 lunch special. A seafood basket with more smoked, and fresh salmon, crab and lobster meat, prawns and other delicacies than I could handle. Betty had the monster Apple Crumble and cream to follow.
