It started today. The going back part of my trip. No more beautiful coast sceneries and no more holiday thoughts in my head 24/7. The return to "normal life" has already started in my mind. But I'm not completely out of here yet.
I did another walk in Galway this morning and took more pictures. I walked along the river Corrib and visited the catholic Cathedral and the university grounds. I really have to say that I love the city!
I headed off to the east around noon. The wind was giving me a nice push and the kilometers went by faster than expected. Maybe the day off my bike also helped. I took the first longer break on the county border next to river Suck (yep, a funny name). I then continued to Athlone and had another break there in a nice restaurant called the Prince. Since it was just 5.30 pm after I had finished eating, I decided to continue a little further.
Just after cycling through a small town called Moate I stopped at a filling station to ask whether someone could show me a nice spot for putting up a tent somewhere close by. The owner of the station called his friend, who owns the local live music and country dancing club (or something) called the Well. He then showed me the way and when I got there, the nice owner of the club was already waiting outside. He showed me my options and I chose the field with no horses on it... The owner asked me to come over for a beer in the bar later. I just might do that next.
I'm now 105 kilometers closer to Dublin. According to Google maps I've still got about 140 left. The journey will continue tomorrow.
