    Hello guys and dolls,
    I've been currently working in galway for the last couple of months on a training programme (were up from waterford) unfortunately our time in your FANTASTIC city has come to an end, there is 17 of us altogether (none of us had the pleasure of been in galway before). The city really feels like nothing on this island of ours, i've been here for the ocean race, the horse races, i cant even remember the names of the other festivals and many other random adventures and the place and of course the lovely people really blew me away.
    (I'm sorry but i just really wanted to show our appreciation before i ask my question!)
    QUESTION IS. were staying up for a weekend before we head home, if yee could pick 1 activity to do maybe within one hour of galway on a Saturday afternoon, now i mean were all in our 20's male & female, just something REALLY FUN and enjoyable. thank you galweigons :)

    Check on the Corrib Princess website and see if that is something you would like to do. They do boat trips on Lough Corrib.

    Deep Sea Fishing. Something different.

    The boat can take you out fishing, you take a break on the Aran Islands, the boat can cook some of the fish on the boat for you on the way back to the Docks.

    have a pub crawl. start at the crane. have a glass (not a pint) in every bar you pass. this keeps things moving. no skipping pubs. no drinking in the same pub twice.

    see if you can make it to eyre square
