Yes. Sunburn.
When we woke up here in Allihies, in one of my favorite places on earth, the sun was shining. It was sunny last time I was here with Todd. What a beautiful place. If you come to Ireland make sure you visit. Everyone talks about going to the Kerry Penninsula, but the Beara has a more remote feel and is quieter.
Today we decided to milk the day and set off at 8:30 after a huge Irish Breakfast from our BnB host Irene. (Beachview BnB) We did a shore and mountain loop that included a few copper mine ruins and then spend 2 hrs at the beach swimming and searching for rocks. We laid down in the hot sand next to a freshwater stream that poured into the ocean, resting our bodies from the morning hike. Then we jumped in! Wow. It was cold! But as is typical, the Irish were swimming in it as if it was a pool — hardy people.
After that we decided to go for another hike and drove out to the Dursey Island area. We knew we had to take advantage of the sun! It turned out to be one of the most fantastic hikes I’ve ever been on. We ended the day with more fine food and Guinness from O’Neill’s Pub.
So happy you guys are having such a good time!!! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteOh my. You guys are really doing it. What a treat to follow along with you. Very strange about Garrett's grave stone. It will probably always be a mystery. Enjoy the rest of your stay. Love you.
