Not quite as close to town centre of Galway as I expected, but it wasn't that difficult to use the GPS and drive there and back, for a walk and a meal, but that was the only draw back to staying in Ann's lovely home, full of lovely collectibles... very much like being home away from home as we collect similar things; and were able to bemoan to each other that the younger generations don't appreciate them like we do.
Breakfast was *by order* and it was great to be able to get poached eggs freshly made. After travelling for several weeks, poached eggs are such a treat. Simple things! There was also juice, choices of cereal, yoghurt, fruit, bacon on offer, toast and pastries. Spoilt for choice. Nothing was too much trouble for Ann to ensure our comfort... and were on our way without an empty tummy, and with a snack to keep us going.
The room was big enough for us, which when travelling for a long time, with lots of luggage is a good thing, and the gardens were lovely to look out upon.
