This reminds me of that famous song 'Galway Girrrrrl' I can't believe you're in Galwayyyy!!! And top of the morning can be ANYTIMEEEE ahaha don't worry xx
You look pale and sick. Are you alright?
Who? Me? @@franknielsen2784
Galway is a city ... just saying.. nobody but americans say top of the morning. And it doesnt mean a specific time it just means good morning/I hope your having a nice morning
@@BellaDiary stop just stop
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
For that reason, if I was Irish, I'd say it ALL the time! It'd really piss off all the other Irish people. 😁
They say it to me I'll fucking bait em
yes...and we never really even mention lepracauns ever either! x
@@futurez12 top O the morn'n to ya. Does "bait em" mean, jack them off?
@nobody else You hate all Americans? Have you met them all? Ya Goof
I’m 🇺🇸 & I’ve always wanted to visit Ireland. This city looks beautiful.
I live in Galway and love watching tourist vlogs seeing people enjoy the city 😊
do you recommend live in Galway? :)
@@malinalligutiare yessss absolutely! I lived in galway over 7 years and loved it so much. Just moved away and I miss it every day!!
@@Tinyboots_travels Great! i cant wait for visit it , thanks :D
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!
@@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!
Rain/Shine/Rain/Wind/Shine/Rain - welcome to Ireland lol!
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!
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.
Love Powers absolutely lovely whiskey
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 ?
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.
Yeah. That's not true whoever told you that but glad you liked the powers. It would be classed as a cheaper whiskey.
Ref weather, there are two sorts.
1.It's raining.
or
2. It's about to rain.
scraggy983 d
OMG so true
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
If McDonald's was anything like McDonagh's, I'd eat there every day!
Noel Conway lol
Galway is one of the best places on the planet , actually Ireland is just awesome. Always feel at home when visiting family
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).
I love it when you include more history and culture in your videos:):) and of course the food is always amazing looking:)
Agreed! But I always love when they do plenty of eating. The food always looks incredible and makes me hungry!!
You certainly did a LOT of hunkering down in this vlog ;)
Allison you looked like a natural in Ireland. Especially the Pic by the Castle! Looks like fun!
Lol yes! I was thinking the exact same thing :) Great video! Looks like a blast there!
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
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!
Honestly guys your time lapses just keep getting better and better. Absolutely LOVED this video- your editing is well and truly on point! Looks like this is another place I'm adding to my bucket list and fingers crossed I'll get around to vlogging it too
Just found your channel and I’m hooked. Best food explanations to prep my taste buds for our upcoming trips, and really appreciate how positive you both are! Happy adventuring!
I’m definitely making notes what restaurants I’m visiting next yr when I do my trip to England/Scotland/Ireland☘️☘️☘️😎👍
Irish NEVER say Top Of Morning!!!!! EVER!!!
Yes they do. All the time.
@@sanchog5704 No we don't, we never say it!
@@Daithi-ez7eo You probably don't even realise you are saying it.
@@sanchog5704 you only play 2 songs when you play guitar right? La Cucaracha, and that one with the hat right? (sarcasm, because not everyone on the internet gets it...)
@@sanchog5704 nobody says it you eejit
Don't believe all the stereotypes you hear you make a fool of yourself
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.
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" !
Lime in Irish whiskey ???? , no wonder the barmaid was grumpy 😮
LOL, that's what I was thinking too :D
Neil Egan They should have gone authentic Irish with Coors Light
A lime destroys the taste of any whiskey.
'Top of the morning to you' isn't commonly used nowadays, as far as I know. It's another sterotype. Loving this video btw! I'm going to Galway in a few weeks for my 18th ^^. Go raibh maith agat!!
Milford sound was epic when I went. It rained all the way from Queenstown to Fiord land. But once we got out on the sound the sun came out and the waterfalls were beautiful. Great vlog guys! 💯👍
Uhhhgggggh I LOVE IRELAND. I was there late December 2019-mid jan 2020. It makes my heart swell I miss it so much
Shout out to the people like me from Galway
I am from Galway
I’ll be there in 2 months!
Salthill 4 me
Me!!!!!!!!
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.
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 ;)
7:04 - Xi'An Street Food - best spice bag in Galway!
agreed but I always choke on the chicken
Too good
Mikey Withero hahahahah same
portland 182 I’ll have to make a note of it for next year! 😎👍🇨🇦
Go to neo in down my dad owns the building check it out it’s pretty nice
When I was little I used to spend a lot of time in Galway with my grandparents. I love it so much and I always consider it my second hometown.
Very nice video. We are going hopefully in 2020. I can't wait. I have added that restaurant to my list.
You make me so hungry guys
Agreed! Every time I watch their videos they are eating somthing delicious looking and then I want to eat! LOL
Y'all are my kind of people, foodies!!! That looked so good.
Binge watching your older films Alison and Eric, lovely to see Galway. Have only been to Ireland once and that was Dublin, which we loved. Thanks for sharing, we always enjoy watching your films 🥰
My family and I will be heading to Galway in the latter part of August 2019. Thanks for giving me some new ideas to add to our itinerary. Looking forward to strolling the old town area and trying some of that fresh seafood.
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.
really????
Where bouts ye go? I live here and I have never heard anybody say it lmfaooo
We were in Galway in early December, we probably just missed you! I had oysters at the outdoor markets. We loved it - hopefully you got a chance to check out the “modern” (from the 1960’s) cathedral. Say hi to Josh and Ash for us!
Beautiful looking seafood ! Yum !
One of my favorite towns on the planet!! Also, Al, looks pretty in the blue dress on the bridge next to the castle.
Galway is a city and not a town 🍀
@@irishcoffeetruecrime I'd say he ment Kinvara that's where the castle is, that's near 19 mile from galway city....
As an American, apologies to the fine folks of Galway. We're not all dorks.
Nice shots and you guys are always great!! I love Jamison ♡♡♡ and seafood!!
Irish whisky is a stand alone alcohol even water or ice are really a waste of great whisky, scotch is enhanced with a bit of spring water but Irish whisky is a favour best savioured on it's own! It's a light rain throw a barbeque, typical Irish weather . Love to you both from Tennessee
Ireland is magical!
I actually drew that first castle in one of my journals. I have it memorized after drawing it. NICE!
Never eaten or fancied scallops or muscles but after watching this I'm game!! they looked delicious!
Seafood is so incredible...you have to try the Mexican food from this little fishing village in Mexico called Popotla...it's to die for
Lovely video and Happy New Year! 😃👍
Sorry to report that you really missed out on a treat ! McDonough's fish and chips is famous for good reason. Absolutely unparalleled. Those scallops and oysters looked pretty special too, but you really need to try the fish and chips. I've watched and enjoyed almost all of your videos and this is the first restaurant you've visited that I've actually visited before, and so glad you enjoyed it as much as I did ! Next time, stay away from dicey spice bags and try the tried and true !
Good video. I am very much looking forward to trying McDonagh's!
Welcome to Ireland, guys.
Fresh food always tastes better we are blessed in Ireland for having a abundance of it
We are here now! Cod and chips are delicious, my wife had the shrimp scampi...fantastic!
Lovely review of Galway, from a Galwegian. ❤️
Hello everyone, really enjoyed this video. Thanks.
Great stuff - thank you for sharing.
If you like fish and end up visiting Limerick while you're here, be sure to go to Luigi's Fish & Chip just opposite the train station; fresh cod cooked every morning, and chips being cut fresh from potatos all day everyday out the back.
Amadan
endless so glad you our over there
(TOP OF THE MORNING COMES FROM POEMES AND FRAISES ) my mum always said it to my friends who
called for me as a child that's all IT.S A FUN SAYING love you two keep going at it the travel
kind regards Ian T
I am glad you are going to other places than Dublin. Everyone goes there. I love these out of the way places. I drink my Whiskey only with Gingerale.
Loved McDonaghs..used to live in Galway..it rains a lot!
Realised today I’ve been watching you guys for a year...awesome vlog
yum that looks delicious :3 Makes me nostalgic for San Fran (mostly cuz that's like the only coastal place I've been to haha). Love my mountains but I sure do miss fresh seafood.
U guys crack me up with your foodie reviews. Erm not too salty, oceaney, yeah they are best I've ever had.
You missed St. Nicholas’ Church just off Shop street? Medieval church. Really interesting.
Fun fact: my paternal grandmother's family is the Lynch family that had the castle in Galway. We have a whole family tree for it. It's cool! I hope to go someday.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience this we us God bless you on your journey
One of few countries I have been too
Loved it
May visit again
Only maybe
I went to Ireland for 2 weeks last summer, best time ever.
Good dinner, very much the style of French seaside restaurants. We often indulge as our boat is at La Rochelle.
Excited to see your opinion on Galway. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do ✨
$$$$$$$$$
Um that seafood has me drooling. Ireland is magical love the little back roads and tiny cars! How long are you guys there?
Yes!! Seafood is the best and I always get hungry when I see whatever they are eating.
I walk up shop street everyday to go to the bus stop while coming home form school so I'm just smiling at seeing all the places I recognize
If your ever in Galway again you'll definitely have to go to all the pubs in wood quay especially McGinns (I probably spelt that wrong) it's a perfect blend between a pub and a restaurant and if has great service
Ha ha the kings head is a real student bar spent many a night there in my student days .hope ur enjoying our beautifull country.
You need to see the Rock of Cashel in County Tipperary if you are looking for beautiful old Irish buildings.
George Dunning lmao just don’t kiss it
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
Hiya. McDonagh's? You went to the right place and their fish and chips IS amazing. Also, at least ONE of you will have to return in September for the Galway Oyster Festival. LOL. All the best to you.
Really love this vlog with so many informations
Morningggg!!! I would call it the bottom of the morning... hehe
Galway is so nice. I wouldn't mind living there.
You guys love a late start
McDonaghs is touristy but make no mistake it's 100% a locals choice too!
Nice to see Galway City in a video youtube suggested to me haha went to university there and lived there for 5 years. Love the place; it's a permanent home to me.
I'm about to cry 😭😭
If only I could stay there forever
This is awesome as I am a flutist and I play the same type of flute that James Galway plays. Ca t wait to see this. One day I would like to visit here
Sarah Marchuk I live there :)
I'm in Galway rn. And I used to live here 9 yrs ago
I'm off to Galway on friday and my gosh I cant wait!!!! Oysters, ummm yes please!
Count yourselves lucky that you had intermittent weather. We went for a week to Galway in May and it rained the whole week virtually non stop. The upside was we kept having to go for coffee and cake to dry off lol.
Why does my happy factor jump by 100% watching these vids?..... 😉😂
Agreed! They are amazing to watch and always put me in a great mood :)
Me too!👩🦰💁♂️
Love Galway that restaurant it’s fantastic I went there last February
Thank you for making such an awesome vlog of my city. I love Galway and Kinvara, you covered it really well. I don't think I could stomach the oysters though. The fish and chips are fab but very greasy.
Oysters were a staple food in Victorian times and cheap, a penny a dozen and often a free bar snack in the London "Gin Palaces". They were probably the only nutritious cheap food then. Hence that they are expensive now, native Oysters were almost wiped out by over dredging when steam dredgers came in.
Great music to your videos. Also, great editing. Working my way through your videos & have subscribed. Just curious how you pick your destinations? Thanks.
McDonagh's seems just as good as when i went there 17 years ago, the fish and chips with garlic sauce is soooo good !!
Come to Quin in Clare an hour south of Galway! The Abbey there is incredible!
That just made me sooo hungry!!! 😊🥂
Love Galway all my family love there go there every year it’s beautiful
When i have fresh fish like what was on Allison's plate, I usually leave the skin and just eat the fish. I'm with Eric, I can eat cooked Oysters but fresh ones just look so slimy :D
On the weekend at the market you must go to the donut man for fresh donuts, boojums for amazing burrito bowls, le petite for lattes, napolis for pizza!
Quality videos. ❤️
My goodness, I am in love with these castles, such amazing feats of building considering when and how they were built (and kinda reminds me of game of thrones).
I understand why they block them off but they are so cool - a tour of Ireland is on our to-do list (as if it wasn't already...everywhere is technically on our list :)
game of thrones is filmed in ireland so that mskes sense lol
If it's old buildings you're after, I would suggest visiting the Stone Age passage tombs in the Boyne Valley and Loughcrew.
@@liberalirishman1425 Thanks for the tip we shall add it to our list :)
I love how u keep saying mcdonagh wrong its pronounced mc-dun-a
So amazing to see the town where i live on your video.. so proud to be a galway girl.
It's a city 🍀
@@irishcoffeetruecrime i know galway is a city... but they were in my town where the castle is.....
@@snappytrinket Ahhh right 😉
THEY ALSO STILL HAVE THE FECKIN LIGHTS UPPP
Love that I found your channel 😃 You should visit Wales if you love castles🏴❤️
