2011/04/28 The last ride

We booked a glass bottom boat ride in Letterfrack to not only see the sea's underwater life, but also to enjoy Connemara's unique landscape one last time.
We stopped in Leenane for lunch (and souvenir shopping)..
..and then went even further up north for our next B&B in Castlebar. Loughlannagh turned out to be a "Holiday Village" with caravan parks, fitness center and a hall for common breakfast. We were disappointed, somewhat grossed out.
When chillin' by the lake..
we decided that we'd risk it and move further on towards the East to get closer to Dublin.
We headed towards Athlone and ended up in Carrowphadeen, a teeny tiny colony right by the Center of Ireland.
We crashed a little B&B - Árd Aoibhinn [Aurd Ee'ven; it means "delightful height"] - that is run by a cute couple in their 50ies. The house is totally new (and pretty), and Doris & Kevin made us feel as if we were visiting family. They prepared sandwiches for us in the evening and our baby girl was allowed to splash in their private tub.
The location was quiet and pretty - if you ever wanna go there, we can only recommend (feeleyquinnnguestaccomodation@ireland.com)!
