Irish people from Ireland don't say Top o the morning. In fact if you say it to them they will roll their eyes at you. The only people who actually say it are Americans saying in Ireland to Irish people. Lol

[@paulschrickel9797]

Question! Traveling to Ireland next year and planning on staying in Galway. We will arrive around 5pm, stay the night, have the next entire day and then be leaving the following morning. Do you feel the Aran Islands are worth spending a half day or full day while we are in Galway, or should we save them for the next trip. This is our first trip to Ireland and Galway and I really want to see as much as I can there, but not sure if I should sacrifice time in Galway for the Islands. Any input would be appreciated! Thank you!

[@Tinyboots_travels]

@@paulschrickel9797 just my personal opinion is you would need a full day on the aran islands depending on which island you go to! There is no transport on the islands just walking on cycling and there are beautiful beaches, cliffs and walking trails to do , it would be very rushed in a half day I would say!

OMG so true

[@kickbiker7920]

When I were a lad ..... I was told when you're on Salthill Prom ,if you look across the Bay and you can see the Clare mountains VERY clear .... it's a sign it's going to make heavy rain ..... BUT if you CAN'T see the mountains ... that's because it's ....errrrr? ....raining ... heavily

[@CatholicSatan]

Irish weather! Irish friends of mine joke about it: "The difference between winter and summer is that in the summer, the rain is softer...". I was walking on the beach at Greystones one day with another Irish friend and it was a sunny summer's day. Except that we were being rained on at the same time! You can get all four seasons in one day. I will go back and soon!

[@vincentczepiel2927]

When I was in Galway I ducked into a pub to get out of the rain. I ordered a whiskey, the barkeep said, "We've got Bushmill and Jamison for the tourists, Powers and Paddy's for us." I had Powers and I've been drinking it ever since.

[@anthonymcloughlin2634]

Love Powers absolutely lovely whiskey

[@davidtemple5934]

absolutely loved Powers but can I heck find it in the U.k, was even told at a whiskey shop that Powers had ceased to exist. Is that true ?

[@anthonymcloughlin2634]

david temple Hi David you can buy it online either direct from Powers or from the whiskey exchange. There is a whiskey shop in Covent Garden that stocks Powers but it’s been a while since I was there due to shielding so not sure it’s still open. I do love a Powers imo one of the best.

[@KingK339]

Yeah. That's not true whoever told you that but glad you liked the powers. It would be classed as a cheaper whiskey.

[@melissagarza6623]

Galway is a city, not a town, just clarifying 😊 If you guys are driving up to Clifden, stop in Oughterard village. There’s a boat tour on Louch Corrib. It’s said that there’s 365 small islands in this lake. The boat goes from Oughterard to Ashford Castle (luxury hotel now) in Cong, Co. Mayo. Cong has abbey ruins that you can explore. John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara’s movie, The Quiet Man, was filmed in Cong and in surrounding areas (the Quiet Man bridge is just outside Oughterard).

If they don't say it they should they should bring it back! Top of the morning is a lovely expression, beats the pants off "good morning" !

[@WineAndRum]

1) Haven't heard anyone actually say top of morning ever in the two years since moving to Ireland ^_^ 2) You get used to the light drizzle, for Irish winter that looked like some good weather 3) We've had the fish and chips at McDonagh's, it's good. Next time we're in Galway we're definitely gonna sit down and try a dinner there

[@DaveJMcGarry]

You certainly did a LOT of hunkering down in this vlog ;)

[@denillededman476]

I'm two years late. But yes the fish and chips are definitely as good as they say. Actually they downplay how good they are. Lol I lived in Galway for a year. I loved this vlog. You guys pick the rainy season to visit but that sure doesn't take away the beauty of the city. It has such a unique atmosphere there. Ireland is an unbelievable country to visit. I'm glad you got to experience Galway!

Uhhhgggggh I LOVE IRELAND. I was there late December 2019-mid jan 2020. It makes my heart swell I miss it so much

[@jgdooley2003]

In Galway and near the village of Claddagh which was one of the few places to survive the famine of 1847 because the locals could fish the sea which many people along the west could not do....they depended on the potato for their subsistance. The irish do not use seafood as much as the Spanish or Portuguese who use seafood a lot more. It is something we need to do more.

[@jacktravers5049]

even if everyone fished it wouldn't have solved anything. A people need a carbbohydrate base in their diet to do things like fishing which is a lot of work, people consumed less fish during and after than famine than before at which time it was considered a luxury. That's an awful bigoted view you're parroting. Yeah we could definitely make more use of our coastal resources, that requires education, and sure everyone else enjoys our fish anyhow ;)

[@hilltopnet]

The fish and chips from McDonough's is amazing too! I've never tried oysters but those looked really good. When my daughter and I were there at the beginning on May that place was packed.

As someone who has been to Ireland over 7 times, (8 to be precise), I can say that almost every Irelish person I met greeted me by saying "top o the morning", no matter what time of day it was.

[@ava2780]

Where bouts ye go? I live here and I have never heard anybody say it lmfaooo

[@katenoke1571]

Nobody I ever knew said "Top of the morning." They might say, "Soft day, thank God." That means the rain is misting instead of lashing

[@pandoratonks4429]
