The Best of NileGuide
- Do you like drinking? Do you like waking up in the morning wearing multiple tutus or random clothing you have no idea got on you? Or why there's a sheep looking at you wantonly from the floor? These things tend to happen in Galway. Call it the Western Island bug if you will, but Galway has a university where many of the kids end their boredom at the pubs. Fun times all around. Not only that, but as a tourist the Cliffs of Moher are as close as you can get to them from anywhere in Ireland in Galway.
