Days 26 & 27 - Edinburgh to Shannon to Co Galway

We got up and had breakfast, finished packing and checked out.  We had to drop the car off at the airport by 11am, so we were on a mission... Until I tried to find my glasses, which should have been in my bag.  I couldn't find them, so we went back to the hotel..  By the time I went back up to our hotel room and back, Peter had found them at the bottom of my backpack!   Oh, oh, I was in very big trouble......!

After that, we got to the airport... and decided to stay there as we had to be there by 2.15pm and didn't think we could get somewhere and back in time.  They have two hours of free wi-fi, so I made use of my time to do some postcards to use up the stamps and do another blog update.  So some cups of tea and lunch done, it was finally time to check in!  Thank goodness.  

We could then go to the departures lounge which has duty free shops and eating places.  I thought we still had at least another hour to go before boarding but it was time to go to the gate!  

We were sharing a little twin prop plane with a group of Irish dancers, who had been off to a competition and were coming home with trophies!  It was a bit of an experience!

When we got to Shannon we had to go thru passport control and were issued with 90 day visas.

We walked across to the Park Inn and got settled in.  Tomorrow we will be catching the bus to Galway, about two hours away.

No photos taken this time... Just some random ones from before!
