The pints were really coming thick and fast now, with Bundoran (Ireland's
version of Las Vegas) literally five minutes from Leitrim. We parked
in the main street just across from Bootleggers and quickly ordered
our tenth round of the day.
With
a name like Bootleggers, you’d be expecting to find the place filled
with rough characters arm-wrestling, chewing on someone else’s leather
belt or drinking ale from a wooden laden beer tankard. Funny enough
this wasn’t the case and the Wild West saloon themed bar was deserted.
Boris was by now checking his watch every two minutes and shaking
his head, deeply concerned that we wouldn't reach Omagh before last
orders. However, the team must be commended, for when the pressure
was on, they each rose to the challenge. In less than 16 minutes
we managed to:
- chat
up the bargirl
- play
a game of pool
- do
an Irish jig on the karaoke stage (with no music)
- headbutt
a stuffed buffalo
- get
a photograph outside the pub
To
be fair, we were by now quite experienced in the ram-raid approach
to drinking in pubs. The map was finally dispensed with as we hurtled
at break-neck speed over familiar roads towards the penultimate
county - Fermanagh. |
