This morning after breakfast we wandered over to the Cathedral in Galway, just to have a look, as it looked like a nice building when we passed it on the way to through last night. The building is quite impressive and made of stone that looks like the stuff used to build the fences all over the countryside. The photos of the cathedral are in the same folder as yesterday's Gallimh photos. We walked past the pub with the Guinness signs on the way back to the b&b to collect the car and head off to Bóthar na Trá and Baile Átha Cliath.
Bóthar na Trá (Salthill) is a beach/holiday area just next to Gallimh. It was really windy and a little rainy when we were there, so it didn't exactly appeal as a beach holiday destination, but maybe we've been spoilt with places like Noosa. As a town/village, Salthill is picturesque, and quaint. In spite of the freezing weather, we saw a couple of guys go swimming in the sea, while their friends watched on (their friends were wearing thick, weather-proof jackets). I really hope it was just done as a dare, or perhaps the swimmers lost a bet of some sort. I didn't take any photos of Bóthar na Trá's swimmers, but here are some other pics.
