Heading home

In the morning, we carried our luggage down to the car, took a few quick photos of the hotel, and surrounding area, and then headed back to Galway to catch our train.

I dropped Lisa off at the Starbucks in the train station, where she relaxed while I returned the rental car.

The rental car parking lot is more than a quarter mile walk from the store front. After dropping off the car and hiking back to the store I informed the employee that the headlights don't work, and I returned the GPS.  Then I walked to the train station to meet up with Lisa.  We hung out in a Starbucks for an hour or so while we waited for the train to be opened for boarding.  Then we quickly found our seats and settled in for the 3 hour ride to Galway.  When we arrived in Galway we were fortunate to find a taxi waiting just at the end of the platform. I had just barely enough euros left to pay the taxi (plus a reasonable tip), leaving us with only 70 cents worth of euros that we'd be bringing home.  While the food was quite good, we were a bit disappointed with the service at the hotel restaurant.  The main problem being that they were very slow and inattentive. After dinner we got our luggage prepared for the following morning's flight, distributing heavier items into the carry-on luggage to make sure that the checked luggage wouldn't be overweight. Then we tried to get some sleep knowing that we'd need to get an early start the next day.
