My plan last night was to catch a bus out to the Cliffs of Moher and Doolin- something I had been looking forward to since I started planning this whole trip.

Around 4:00 this morning, though, I woke up feeling horrendous. Achy muscles, sore throat, headache, coughing. It was dreadful, and I didn’t  get back to sleep for a few more hours. When I woke up again, I felt just as horrible, so my lovely plans went right out the window. After running a couple of errands (finding lunch, mailing postcards), I went back to the B&B and spent most  of the day in bed. I’m feeling slightly better now, but it was a lousy way to spend my last full day in Galway.
