I am excited you are doing public transportation and Westport. We are renting a house in Westport, five friends and renting bikes. We want to climb Croagh Patrick, take a day trip to Clare island. That is where we found the taxi/tour guy. We would love to use them for a Cong trip. Other than that the train looks good for getting into Westport. With five of us we don't want to rent or drive that big of a car. Not one of us wants to drive. We are going in September.
