Beef and Guinness pie in Galway

It was time to resolve my technology issues - I needed an Irish micro-sim card for my iPad and for that, we had to get to Galway. Only about an hour's drive North in our very rubbish hire car (dagga blue Ghia with about 100 dents and scratches in it - I am missing my C5!), we braved the rain and grey skies that have moved in on us to arrive in this very lovely mini city.
We sorted my micro-chip out in about 5 minutes (omg the French should send their Orange staff to Ireland for a training weekend!!!!!) and then it was time for an Irish pub lunch.





The pubs are so warm, cozy and family friendly - we could do with more pubs like this in Australia. We ordered the day's special - beef and Guinness pie with veggies for 7 euro - what a bargain!


Loved this Guinness poster below - unfortunately, the flash on my camera wasn't working so you'll have to squint to read the little poem - worth the effort if you can!
