Trip to Sligo
Mattia came up earlier this week with the idea to go to the westcoast on the weekend! Of course! Our target was Sligo - a town (village) in the northwest of Ireland. It is kind of famous for its nice beach and also well known as a pretty famous surf spot. We - that was Mattia, Mattia’s friend Mattia and me - decided to turn the thing into a daytrip: going there early in the morning by train and coming back to Dublin in the evening - which at the end turned out ot be a very cool idea! So we took the first train in the morning at 8 - arriving three hours later. After a short walk around the town? we took a cab to Strandhill beach. Very nice! Funny: a fecking strong breeze and a hailstorm were waiting for is right on top of the dunes… No doubt - it was time for lunch and Guinness in a pub close to the beach!
But ist was clearing up after lunch and we had another long walk checking out the nice small bays around Strandhill. After a final pint we were heading back to the train station and back to Dublin! Cool day!
No doubt - Sligo must be a really cool place during summer! I will definitely go there again next year!
btw - oolong: any comments about this picture?
