Rathangan - Monasterevin

We left Rathangan sunday morning heading for Monasterevin.
Usually only 90 minute's trip - but I think it took us more time since we had to get
used to this tremndously long boat (compared to our little Shetland) and to cope
with the firsts of a long row of locks.
We decided to stay there at the snug moorings and explore the historical city.
