A view of Connemara

Good and affordable way to see Connemara and Kylemore Abbey including its Victorian Gardens. Some very nice scenery along the way with stops for pictures. It was also nice to have a chance for a 15 minute stroll in the countryside. Cong was pleasant although it was raining by then.
