The destination today is a little village called Ramelton. Its near the Northern Island/UK border and the city of Londonderry. I am staying in a house found on airbnb. The drive takes about 3 hours. I stop off in a place called Letterkenny and walk around the high street and the main shopping mall before heading to my accommodation. I have chosen a house rather than camping for a few reasons. The first is the rain and wind. The second is there are no camp grounds...

Today its a drive heading north from Killarney to Galway with some towns in between. There is nothing really exciting about this leg of the journey. I can tell you that some of the roads here are really bad, as in rough, narrow and not too many straights. Sometimes it is really good when the road surface is ok and the road is continually changing directions. Most of the locals always seem to be in a hurry, so i have been tail-gated a lot, and its very hard to get...

Today i am off to Killarney. It is the start of the Ring of Kerry Road, plus it also has the Killarney National Park. Its only a short drive, about 100ks. Nothing really exciting along this road. I arrive at the camping ground in Killareny at midday and pitch the tent and make my bed. With this done i take a drive to the start of the Gap of Dunloe. Its only a short 10k drive to the car park. Now for the hard part, a 6 to 7k walk into the gap going gradually uphil...

Woke to a very cloudy early morning. Slept well but only till 6am. It is still light at 11am and first light is around 6am, so not much time for darkness. Anyway after a nice warm shower i hit the road, and its not long before it rains. Not for long as luck would have it. It stops by the time i reach Waterford. Yes this is the place where Waterford Crystal is made. Lots of buses at the factory entrance. A quick stroll around town and i am on the way to the next t...

From today i am travelling by car, driving around the coast of Ireland. My accommodation for the next 2 weeks is my newly purchased tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, pillow. So i bid farewell to Bob, who i can tell is going to miss me (i have just read the review of me he posted on airbnb, and this confirms it) The hire car place is about 3k walk and as its such a lovely day i am in no hurry to get there, especially now that i have added 6kg of luggage to carry. ...
