Achill Island... Island in Paradise

Niamh drove us , at the end of our climb , through some of the best scenery we have seen, to Achill island. The largest island in Europe and it is on the west coast of Ireland. The place we stayed in was a beach house owned by her friend Dorina. Her friends Madeleine and Tom were there as well. Their home was built in the early 20's and was set between a lake and the Atlantic Ocean.... delightful to say the least! We appreciate being able to share their home for awhile. The drives we went on were stunning. welived in the attic with views over the sea. the drive along the rugged cliff tops was truly wonderful. The grass is so green , the sea so blue, the houses so white and we had the best weather to top it all off. it pored all weekend in Dublin. We drove half way back across Ireland to meet some of Niamh's family including her mum. We are so grateful to her for taking us to places we never knew existed and we were welcomed by everyone. We were quite sad to leave her and Dublin.
