Journey to Northern Ireland

Today: a train and two buses to Newcastle (Northern Ireland) where we’ll hike The Mournes.

Urban day: explored the city of Galway. Good Mediterranean dinner, reflecting local Spanish connections.

Walked a variety of trails as we headed to the edge of The Burren, and Ballyvaughan for the night.

We’re in Fanore, The Burren, but I keep thinking I’m in Hawaii: beautiful sunsets, tropical plants, dramatic scenery.

We walked a loop on good, quiet trails across The Burren, returning to Fanore. The weather has been fine for a week.

We continued walking through The Burren until we reached Fanore for the night.

Me, Cliffs of Moher, walking Liscannor to Doolin. 100’s of people at visitors’ center who came to look over the edge.

We’re repositioned and ready to backpack parts of The Burren, starting Thursday.

On a bus, transport public. We drove thru old Limerick\I wanted 2 Tweet\A poem, real neat\But needed > 118 characters.

Backpacked back to Bantry along Sheep’s Head Way: great views, great weather. The trails are good, and well-marked.
