Ireland ~ Travel To Donegal, Caves, Pottery & Football Championship (Day 9) 30Jul23

It was kind of a long bus ride to Donegal but broken up with a stop for a snack and potty break ~ I bought a well-named IPA for the ride. We also stopped and visited "the famous" Irish pottery town/vendor of Belleek. We didn't get anything as transport would be hard but there were nice coffee mugs affordable (no pic) and other stuff.

Our next stop was to the 2nd largest cave system in Ireland, the Marble Arch Caves. There's no marble as original discoverers had thought. The system was accessible and our guide was fine but the caves were not impressive beyond the notion that the river flowing through was sometimes navigable (not @ this time) and boats and patrons could visit via watercraft.

After arriving in downtown Dun Na nGall @ our hotel we had dinner and headed to McCafferty's across the street to have some pops and take in the GAA All-Ireland Football final on the many large screens. Great game won by Dublin ~ the team of our guide John, who was wearing the blue & navy jersey in support.
