We'd decided to stay
put today, for a day off driving, but also to get some washing done.
We're staying on a private motorhome site which has all facilities so
got our load in early and by mid-afternoon it was all done, dried and
put away. We also had nice hot showers and the van got a clean out
and service too.
The rest of the day was
quiet as we had sort of planned to go into town this evening for a
look-see and something to eat as well as maybe look in on a pub or
two for the fabled “craic” The site owner very kindly offered to
take us in to town, it's only 2km, and show us the best places
although he did say that anywhere was good.
So after a mini-tour he
dropped us off in the Diamond, the market “square”, and we had a
stroll around. Tried to get a look at the Castle but couldn't find
any good viewpoints and there was not a lot of anything else so
walked round the restaurants. Pretty well standard fayre, with a
couple of individual variations and all at similar prices. In the end
we chose the Market House, a somewhat upmarket place attached to the
big hotel, mainly because it was the last one to look at and was
quite busy without being crowded; for us an indication that it's
probably okay.
We weren't disappointed
and enjoyed an excellent meal with superb friendly service –
enjoyed it perhaps a bit too much because we staggered out and simply
couldn't face a pub as well. Good job the taxi rank was right outside
the door!
For us a perfect end to
a wonderful trip round County Donegal. Tomorrow we head south for a
different experience.
