Chauffeurdrive Vacation in the West of Ireland

Today we made our way into Connemara for our final days touring in the West of Ireland. The day was cold but at least dry early on but that was to change in the afternoon as the rain began to fall. The above photo was taken on the Sky Road near Clifden and shows an old abandoned famine cottage. This area was heavily populated as living near the coast at least gave the people the opportunity to catch fish. They had very little else in these regions and when the potato failed during the famine years many people feld these regions for the USA.

This picture shows the fjord at Leenane in Connemara and is Europe's most westerly fjord.

Tomorrow we make our way back to Dublin where Matthew and Mary will spend their final couple of days enjoying this historic city. I will be saying by goodbyes after what has been a very nice tour with these special people. My touring season is slowly but surely drawing to a close and i would sincerely like to thank all of those new friends who came my way for making my year the success it was. I hope that many of them can come back again sometime and i wish them all the best for now.
