Day 359, 6 June '15, Fanad Head, Doe Castle, Glenveagh Castle & National Park, Slieve League, Donegal, Bundoran Chinese (best in Ireland) and stunning Tullaghan for the night. Another absolutely massive day on the road. We left Letterkenny at about 10 am (had been 9 am... but very easy to get chatting on the way out the door). Today's first destination along the Wild Atlantic Way was Fanad Head - another thumping great set of cliffs with a lighthouse cling...

Day 241, 8 Feb '15, Enniscorthy "Travel Day" - Across this very bridge to one of the best deals ever. Ever. When we were last in Ireland (October 2012) they were still in the grip of the recession and B&Bs of superb standard were around€45 a night (maximum). This time around €60 seems to be the going rate - so A$65 vs. A$90 per night. Quite a jump. Our last couple of nights were €60/night but the highlight was hanging out in an eclectically decorated...

Day 240, 7 Feb '15, Enniscorthy town - the Farmers' Market, Pugin's Cathedral and the castle by night. We had a cosy night in the B&B - utter luxury to have the radiators pumping out heat, heat and more heat. Our breakfast at the Cotton Tree Cafe was a huge treat. When I asked the waitress what we could have from the menu as we were guests upstairs, she said "Anything". Them be fighting words missy! We both found the biggest luxury of course was having it...

Days 238-239, 5-6 Feb '15, Farewell to the Farm-let in Caim... Hello to the big-smoke of Enniscorthy. Mainly it's caused by coal fires on cold days - but still, we're now, officially, downtown for a holiday. Obviously, to the untrained eye, it would seem that we're always on holidays - but it's the gaps between housesits with no cats, dogs, goats or chickens and no-one to feed but ourselves that we consider to be actual vacations. After fond farewells to our f...

Days 232-237, 30 Jan-4 Feb '15. Sunday drive to Meylar's Mill in Tacumshane (1st Feb). And, believe it or not, starting to packed for our next adventure. It took us a while to get organised on Sunday morning, but it was a gorgeous day (no wind) and we eventually made a move. We found a brochure weeks ago for Meylar's Mill (www.millhousebar.ie). We'd even made a reservation a couple of times for their Sunday lunch special (2 courses for €14.95). Never actua...
