Slowly getting into the rhythm of #travel, unfortunately it’s only a week long ‘taster’ of #Ireland. Never been before properly and I already know I should return for a longer trip.
Today: the ferry to Inishbofin island. That may be a tautology, I suspect Inish to mean Island (confirm?). Knowing the wonderfully strange film The Banshees of Inishirin…
Now, off to the ferry!

Waiting for the return ferry near the Inishbofin community center, and hearing a class of hardly 5-year olds sing #Zombie by #theCranberries Now that’s an education! (Note that at the same time I’m looking out over the ruins of Cromwell’s barracks so the sentiment is well understood)

@photovince@mastodon.social You are correct - Inis means island. 'Inis Bó Finne' means 'island of the white cow.'
