I am now down in Kerry after travelling down on Saturday on what must have been one of the hottest days of the year so far in Ireland :) What a drive though and not a lot of traffic. It still took the best part of 5 hours to get here though. After unpacking, sorting out the fridge and generally getting settled in took the dog for a walk and then cycled to the village and back which is about 7 miles so felt quite virtuous after that.
That evening we went to a local small hotel for our evening meal and I chose calamari, salad and chips, delicious, washed down with a glass of chilled sauvignon blanc. Blis. Home to bed and we slept like logs.
Sunday wasnt as sunny as we had hoped but after breakfast we set off for Bray Head which is a reasonably taxing climb to the top of the headland which takes about 35 mins to ascend and usually a little less to descend. My OH was doing it for the first time unbelievably even though we have been coming to this part of Kerry for nigh on 18 years. We have some photos to prove the moment but I dont have wi fi on my iphone down here so cannot send them to my email just yet but I will get an opportunity to do some during the week when in Cahirciveen again, the nearest BIG town :)
Later on Sunday we went to Valentia Island to the King Scallop festival where we had a pint and listened to a band playing some very jazzy and enjoyable music. Then home for some late lunch. Later on we had scallops and salad for a light evening meal and headed into the village for a late drink and visit some friends.
Today Monday did another long cycle in the other direction from the village which is about the same distance so a round trip of 7 miles to get bread, milk, ice cream ! and a newspaper for OH. Sat outside and had our lunch al fresco in the sunshine. So thats my magic few days so far, not very manic actually just very relaxing and enjoyable.
Namaste
Marie.
