Picking up from where I left off on Ireland photos; moving on from Croagh Patrick<\/a>, we made a pit stop to\u00a0stretch our legs\u00a0from physically taxing descent from the holy mountain. \u00a0You can easily still see it from this beach head view 15 miles away.<\/p>\n

Louisburgh<\/h2>\n

A few more miles down the road we decided to stop in Louisburgh for a bit of refreshment at the Front Bar. \u00a0We very much enjoyed the quaint feel and colorful building everywhere we traveled.<\/p>\n

The drive from Louisburgh to Aasleagh through the\u00a0Mweelrea Mountains and around\u00a0Killary Fjord was beautiful. \u00a0If I am ever fortunate enough to win the lottery, I will make my way back to Delphi & Delphi Lodge<\/a> for a week or two of fly fishing. What a magnificent spot this was to stop at for a quick look and some fresh smoked salmon. \u00a0It is right off of R335 on the shore of Fin Lough; you cannot miss it.<\/p>\n

The beautiful scenery continued from Aasleagh as we headed South into County Galway to Maam Cross. \u00a0Our destination for day 5 was Oughterard, County Galway. We stayed at Corrib View Country House<\/a> just to the East of Oughterard on Lough Corrib. \u00a0This was a beautiful property to wander around on.<\/p>\n

The blossoms on the tree in the yard smelled \u00a0so wonderful. \u00a0You can very clearly hear the sound of all the bees buzzing around.<\/p>\n
