We spent a couple of nights last week in Carna in Connemara. Oh…to be away! It was Heaven. And the best thing was, we booked into a pet friendly hotel so we got to bring our dog Cotton.
It was meant to be a two hour drive to Carna Bay Hotel, but Stephano took the scenic route. Which I didn’t mind until our satnav, Bridie, announced after two and a half hours, ‘You have reached your destination’.
‘Excuse me Bridie…what did you say?’ I demanded.
We were in a beautiful place indeed, but I couldn’t see a hotel, or a shop, or people. I could see the sea, stone walls, and loads of graves!
‘Stephano, where did you tell Bridie to take us?’
‘Carna.’
‘Not the hotel?’ I scowled. The dog was hungry and so was I.
‘No, I put in Carna, just to see where she’d bring us.’
JUST TO SEE WHERE SHE’D BRING US!
So I instructed Bridie to take us to Carna Bay Hotel. She obeyed and got us there a half an hour later.
Even though the drive was three hours long, it really didn’t matter because the scenery was idyllic. The West of Ireland truly is a beautiful place to be.
Today’s post was in response to Linda G Hill’s Stream of Conscious Saturday – #SoCS. Today’s prompt is ‘drive.’
