Anne's B&B overnight was lovely. Delightful hostess, lovely room and another great Irish breakfast. Driving under overcast skies we passed through some lovely villages and past emerald green countryside - delightfully ordered farmland, many farms with colourful gardens. We took an hour long walk through Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery - another significant site containing more than 60 tombs .As we started to climb a mountain (hill) near Sligo the rain came in and it was obvious that there would be no views from the top so we turned around. We might try again in the morning. We did have our first view of the Atlantic which was exciting. So, we booked into our 4 star boutique hotel in Strandhill. Merilyn has had an extended nap and I have watched the semi final of the Gaelic football - sure beats camping in wet weather.Hopefully it will be dry enough for a walk along the beach after tea.

Sounds like an awesome day. Still want to be there.
