    The beach at Strandhill, near Sligo, another famous surfing beach that failed to deliver the goods when I was there: by neri, Views[393]
         		 This is a photo of Clew Bay, from partway up the mountain of Crough Patrick. The bay is said to have 365 islands in it, one for every day of the year: by neri, Views[331]
         		 Looking towards the peak of Croagh Patrick. where Saint Patrick made a pilgrimage to the peak and fasted for 40 days and 40 nights. At the end of each July thousands of pilgrims climb the holy mountain, some barefoot, some on their hands and knees (which would really suck because it's covered in scree). There is a stone abbey on top of the mountain, but it is not the stone you find on the mountain, but one found kilometres away by the bay, so the monks would have had to carry it all the way up.: by neri, Views[558]
         		 Detail of the Famine Memorial: by neri, Views[301]
         		 Famine Memorial: by neri, Views[268]
     
    Coming through Connemara National Park, between Westport and Galway. It's absolutely stunning : by neri, Views[346]
         		 Connemara National Park: by neri, Views[406]
         		 The next lot of photos are all in a little town called Bundoran, which is quite beautiful but has a tacky 'seaside resort' side to it too, with the ubiquitous seaside funfair that seems to be in every seaside town in Ireland, and this one's a bit bigger than most. Bundoran is one of the famous surf breaks in Ireland, and can apparently get really good, but the weather was crap when I was here. The coastline is quite beautiful, and there are mountains just behind the town that are almost always shrouded in mist.: by neri, Views[790]

         		 Surfing Irish style at Bundoran. And this is summer!: by neri, Views[384]
         		 This day I hired a bike from the hostel in Sligo and went for a ride to this lake, Lough Gill, which is home to heaps of legends and apparently inspired Yeats: by neri, Views[341]
     
    Lough Gill again. The dry stone walls you see in the foreground are everywhere in Ireland: by neri, Views[279]
         		 Lough Gill: by neri, Views[282]
         		 Lough Gill: by neri, Views[302]
         		 This place was pretty amazing, its called Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetary, and it's the largest stone age cemetary in Ireland. The oldest tomb here was built about 5400 BC. It's basically a big field with all these piles of rock and delicatley balanced stone structures scattered around, but the history is amazing: by neri, Views[334]
         		 Inside on of the excavated tombs at Carrowmore: by neri, Views[323]

         		 This is the view from the top of a big limestone plateau, on top of which sits Knocknarea Cairn, said to be the grave of the legendary Queen Maeve, which consists of 40000 tonnes of stone in a big, big pile.: by neri, Views[364]
     
    The pathway leading up to Knocknarea Cairn: by neri, Views[306]
         		 A street in the town of Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal, my first stop in the West of Ireland. Getting here was a bit of a debacle, with the notorously inefficient and unreliable government-run Bus Eireann bus breaking down on the way here, and everyone missing their connecting buses etc. But the town is nice...: by neri, Views[258]

    Again from the Gravity Bar. It's about 7.30pm in this photo, it doesn't get dark in summer until after 9pm.: by neri, Views[391]
         		 View over Dublin from the Gravity Bar on the top floor of the Guiness Storehouse where you receive your complimentary pint of Guiness after the tour. Hooray! The Wicklow mountains are in the background.: by neri, Views[548]
         		 One of many ads on display showing the history of Guiness advertising: by neri, Views[642]
         		 And again: by neri, Views[361]
         		 This is a photo of a water feature at the Guiness Storehouse demonstrating the water they use in the Guiness-making process. It's pretty irrelevant really but it looked cool: by neri, Views[401]
