Galway

Moored at Banagher, a tiny place I’ve never heard of. It’s a small 17th century town with a lovely 10-12 arched bridge and a Martello tower, so someone thought Napoleon was likely to pass this way. For such a small place it has some big literary connections – Anthony Trollope lived here whilst he was deputy postal surveyor – whatever that is? In 1854 Charlotte Bronte honeymooned in Banagher when she married the Rev Arthur Bell Nicholls but she was dead within a year and I don’t know the significance of that either?

We set off for Galway after breakfast. It’s just as great a city as the first time I came. The Aran Islands are just a short ferry ride away but there’s insufficient time for a trip. Lunch in the Quays was decent pub grub.
