Day 61 – July 19, 2025 – Westport, Ireland
Great breakfast with some oatmeal with Bailey’s Irish Cream added and some French toast with maple syrup and cinnamon. Nothing like a great breakfast full of carbs to get you going, lol! Will be needing them for our hike today in Connemara Park.
At the park, we started from the visitor’s center and did part of the Lower Diamond Hill Walk until it connected to the Upper Diamond Hill Walk and went all the way around Diamond Hill. It was a total of about 4 ½ miles and took us about 3 hours. The climb up the Upper Diamond Hill was very steep at times and while John was like a Billy goat trudging up like it was nothing, the rest of us had to take stops. The views were spectacular! It was great to get some good exercise, and the weather cooperated for the most part.
We headed back to the BNB and showered and then headed downtown to walk and window shop before dinner at Luseas again. We had a nice view of the water and mountains in the background. John and I split a salad and a salmon dish.
Back to the BNB and played Hand and Foot; the girls won, again!!!
Tomorrow, we head back to Dublin for an overnight before we fly to Iceland.
