Woke to misty rain and drove to Connemara National Park; great exhibits - also walked to the field to see the resident Connemara horses grazing. Then it was on to Clifden (still in Connemara district) where we stay for 2 nights. It's a busy town compared to Cleggan; we visited the museum (history of Connemara horses exhibit). Drove south and turned off when we saw the sign for the Marconi/Alcock and Brown monuments. Despite the fact that it looked like a road into a sheep field, which it was, we did see where Alcock and Brown crashed landed in a bog after the first transatlantic flight. Carried on to Roundstone; after touring the music shop and watching bohdrons (Irish drums) being made, walked around the town and now sit in an internet cafe across the road from the water, and the sun has come out!
