Some Observations

• It is virtually impossible to find plain salted crisps. Flavours abound but no Ready Salted.
• Roads are generally very good. Surfaces are good quality with very few pot holes or edging break up, even on Local roads.
• The 110 kph speed limit on open Rural roads is misleading. Representing a limit of 60mph, the bends, humps and dips together with width mean that 50mph is usually a more realistic safe top driving speed.
• Foreign drivers: Whilst we are foreign, we are used to right hand drive manual gear change cars. This is not the case for the many visitors from the USA and mainland Europe and you have to make allowances for them constantly.
• Most supermarkets seem to have a delicatessen selling sandwiches, quiches and coffee. 
• There are 3 versions of Wild Atlantic Way signs; \/\/\/\/ (S),  \/\/\/\/ (N) and \/\/\/\/ - no suffix. The first and second indicate a through route South or North respectively, though it may be small road loop going nowhere in particular just staying to the edge of the coast. The third, no suffix, indicates a dead end spur off the route to an interest point along which you will have to return the same way.
• If you can't see mashed potato with your evening meal, it is probably hidden under something on your plate.
• Every person we dealt with in shops, attractions, lodging, cafes, restaurants and bars was welcoming, smiley, helpful and patient. The people are delightful including the younger staff who could be expected to be surly and bored if true to stereotype.
