Surprise day/night geocaching stay in Galway, no car, many dreams
Hello everyone! I'll be staying one extra weekday in Galway for work and didn't plan for it.
My current last minute plan, given that budget is *very* tight and I can't drive, is to do a day of geocaching and target the castle ruins around the city as main landmarks. And McDonaghs. I like exploring, old rocks, and crispy food, so this checks out?
My dinner is secured by work, so I'll backtrack to the hotel for the evening and would enjoy some night exploring after.
1, is that a good idea or am I underestimating the physical effort? I'm in my thirties, healthy but not athletic, and used to hikes but on flat terrain mostly.
2, would you have any recos for caches or for ruins/castles/sights that are reachable on foot from the center? (I'm staying at the Radisson Red) There are some caches in the city center, yet most of them are along the Corrib, South-West coast or way up North-West. My instincts say it's too far to do them all, but maybe I'm overestimating the distances?
3, is night exploration worth it or does the city not change much after nightfall?
