Drove without incident to Dublin, dropped off the car and caught a shuttle to thr Travelodge. Super value sandwich for lunch (late). Hung around hotel then brought in a couple of pizzas for supper. Went to bed early but there was nothing to do. Sleep wasn't so good and we were up early. Went with E and  M to the airport and waited until they were boarding to leave. Caught a bus and at this moment we are about 120 k's out of Galway. Verena will catch up to us there. Wind all night, pouring rain now.
