Sunshine is back and blue skies are above again

Yesterday evening we decided to go on a bit of a drive around the local area and we visited the local beach at Ballinskelligs at about a 10 mins drive from the house.  The beach is wide and long with lots of lovely sand and few pebbles.  The tide was on the turn and there were a few swimmers in enjoying the late evening calm waters.  I walked the beach from beginning to end and back up to the carpark where OH was sitting in the car.  Although he climbed Bray Head on Sunday his ankle was at him so he declined the walk.

Afterwards at 8.30pm we headed to Reenard which is the ferry point for the ferry to Valentia Island and there is a lovely bar/restaurant there O'Neills the Point, who serve the most delicious food.  Usually it is jam packed and it can take up to an hour to get your food but its a sad sign of the times that it wasnt as  busy as previous years but there were still many people sitting inside and out enjoying the fish dishes and having a drink or two.  We ordered a plate of squid for two and when it arrived it was HUGE.  Plenty indeed for two and priced reasonably at 9.95.  At 10pm we got the ferry over to the Island and drove home around the island and ended up in Portmagee village where we listened to some musicians in the Fishermans, a local bar and restaurant.  I wished I had my iphone to take some photos of our night out to put up at a later stage but I didnt take it with me !!

Home to bed by midnight.  Slept like a log once again.  I always sleep well here in Kerry, must be all that fresh air, great food and nice vino :)

Namaste

Marie.
