The National Folk Theatre group based in the Siamsa Tire theatre in Tralee provide entertainment second to none. Last evening my tour group were present for the presentation of Tearmann, a portrayal of famine times in Ireland in the eighteen hundreds. They absolutely loved it and could not speak highly enough of the stage performances and production. Make sure you include Siamsa Tire in your itinerary if you get to Tralee. Last night we stayed at the Fels Point in Tralee and it is a lovely hotel. The food was excellent and the barfood is great value. I will continue to use this hotel as my clients never have any complaints and i find it most satisfactory myself.
This morning we were on our way to the burren of County Clare and the Cliffs of Moher. The ferry crossing from Tarbert to Killimer was most pleasant and the day was bright and sunny when we arrived at the cliffs after a lovely drive up along the coast. The cliffs are an awesome sight and my friends had a really enjoyable time walking the hillsides. Our drive through the Burren on our way to Kinvara was memorable and the limestone mountains, towering above Galway Bay, were something my friends will hold in their memories for a long time to come. Tonight we stay in Kinvara before we make our way to Galway city tomorrow. Tomorrow evening will be the grand finale as my group will be attending the Banquet at the Dunguaire Castle. This is a lovely banquet and not one on the same grand scale as Bunratty but a much more intimate one and one that i personally would prefer for that very reason. It is an ideal way to round off a tour of Ireland. We make our way to Shannon airport on Saturday morning after what i hope will have been another most successful tour with a lovely group of people.
