Day 14: from Crossmolina to Achill Island – Kees Beach, picnic with panoramic view and 2 woolen Irish sweaters, drive through the Connemara Nationalpark to Hollybanks, dinner at Pádraicins

We had a delicous breakfast: Laura an Omlette & mom, dad and I porridge 🙂 And we also gotsomething from the breakfast table for our grandmother. Then we sorted our stuff, packed it in the car and went grocery shopping.

We had an 1 1/2 hour drive to Achill Island and saw the wonderful view of the Nephin and Ballycroy Nationalpark and at the end of the beautiful Island. We arrived at the Keem beach and dad and I swam for a few minutes in the Atlantic (the board said it were 13°C 🙂 . 🌊

And there were people with a golden retriever that forced him to go swimming in the Atlantic but we’ve never seen a golden retriever that was so unmotivated for swimming. 🐕

Up a hill we made our lunch, a picnic with a marvelous view and called our grandparents. At our way to the new accomandation, we stopped for tea and coffee ☕🍵 and also stopped at a small local shop were an old man selled handcrafted sweaters and jackets – mom and I found two in the best colours and bought them. Mine is absolutely the lovliest sweater I’ve ever owned!! ✨

On our way to Moycollen we crossed the Connemara Nationalpark and got marvelous and overwhelming beautiful views of the landscape ✨

We arrived at our accomandation ‚Holybanks‘ and met the owner Jane with her German Shepherd Molly. She showed us around and gave us a tip for for dinner. So we took the road she recommanded and got a great view of the 3 Aran Islands with the sunset behind the clouds but a red and pink coloured sky ☁🎨

We ate our dinner at „Pádraicins“ (Irish gaelic) and Laura, mom and dad got fish and chips and I mussels – it was delicous and Laura said it was her best fish and chips this vacation. We walked along the coast for a little and then drove home again 🚘
