Dubai

Well, I am being transported back to the penal colony. that’s what I’ve been telling people .Actually I am travelling tonight from Dublin to dubai for 2 nights. I’m looking forward to that and then back to Brisbane for a week, yes then being transported to van dieman’s land .The last part of travelling the wild west coast of Ireland was sensational, driving around the ring of Kerry and also through the hinterland of Kerry before heading back to Dublin. Today was the worst day weather wise in the whole time I have been here. It was misty rain on and off and 13 degrees .Not a great day for watching cricket, but I did. Ireland played Sri Lanka in a one day. Because the start of play was delayed? I had to leave while Ireland were in an interesting run chase. Sri Lanka made 303 from their 50 overs and Ireland were 3 for 140 after 30overs .

Only about 300 people. But the weather wasn’t good. Amazing that play wasn’t abandoned

Spectacular views narrow roads. a bit scary sometimes

Looking at my local from my bed room window. Very handy

Charlie Chaplin was a frequent visitor in Waterville. Along the ring of Kerry

Wild Atlantic way

This coast line just gets more spectacular the further you go. It is like the camino. On the Camino you follow the yellow arrows, on the wild Atlantic way you follow the blue signs. I found out you can purchase a passport and have it stamped along the way. .I am probably rushing as I would advise anyone to take a month to do this to really appreciate it. I have been blessed with the weather. Today it rained for half of the day, but it was still 18 degrees

Looks 10000 times better in real life

Lots of baby horses in the paddocks

The ipod works well

The wild Atlantic way

Words and photos don’t do justice to the west coast of Ireland under blue skies. 14 degrees at 8 am reaching 23 by 5 and dark at 10 pm. Perfect conditions
