A Do-It-Yourself Trip in Galway

What brought me to Galway? I would say it is Jenny dear. According to her colleagues Galway is a nice place to visit. So here we go GALWAY! Before reaching Galway we stopped by at Pei's home which next door is her marvelous bakery workshop. Once she opened the door, we all went 'yayyyy'. Pei was so generous for us eating and sampling her good stuffs.

Today Galway has become a popular tourist place in Repulic of Ireland. It is only a few hours drive from Dublin. It has an atmopshere which is same like when you visit Edinburgh. Lots of foreign tourists and excursions available. Instead everyone here decided to follow my DIY excursion. I picked up some of the excursion leftlets and start drawing out routes and plans. It is easy to plan since we have the car plus it is cheaper.

My initial planned route: starting from Galway --> Blackhead --> Cliff of Moher --> Galway
Then turned out: Galway --> Ballingvaun Bay --> Blackhead --> Ballingvaun Junction --> Cliff of Moher --> Galway
