Yes, this really is Ireland

When we got up this morning it was grey and drizzly in Westport, but we decided to go ahead with our plans anyway and head out to Achill Island. 
We drove up through Newport and out through Mulranney, and as we crossed the bridge on to Achill Island the cloud lifted and it turned in to a beautiful afternoon. We stopped at Keel and walked along the beach and then drove on towards Achill Head. As we rounded a bend in the road we were amazed at this view down to a sandy cove and we just had to pull over and take a few photos. 

As always in Ireland you can't really rely on weather like this lasting for very long, and sure enough, by the time were driving back to Westport it had clouded over again, but it was lovely while it lasted.
